I’ve spent many hours of my life in transit to San Francisco. Back when I was a student in college, I’d make the six hour drive from Los Angeles in my car. My only cost was about $15 for gas. I was quite proud of this and never thought I’d be able to make the journey for any cheaper.
I am happy to now be proven wrong by a company called Megabus.
Megabus currently operates in 21 cities across America. Sure, Greyhound services a lot more places, but do they sell seats for just one buck? Nope, I don’t think so.
Megabus does, however. As long as you book early enough, tickets cost just $1. And no, there aren’t $50 worth of taxes added on like budget airlines tend to do; just a 50 cents per reservation fee. That means I can make the six hour trek from Los Angeles to San Francisco for an incredible $1.50. Another buck will get me to Las Vegas, and yet another will get take me all the way to San Diego.
This, folks, is a great deal!
