Quote from QuaerensV :
Many 1 dollar dates available within Texas on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays during the Summer. Unsure about other states but it seems like they are selling one discounted ticket per ride. Total is 5 dollars plus tax after booking fee. Still a great deal if you can find a ticket.
Exactly what I point out every year: Megabus programs it so that only a single ticket can be purchased at lowest fare. Thus there is no way to avoid the actual fare per person to be any less than $4.99; but Megabus still advertizes $1 - which simply doesn't exist. And every year smoker uses the pejorative "thread crapping" when I point out this straight false advertizing

NY to Toronto - $382 for two people. I'd rather take a plane then and save 20 hour trip.

and Chicago area, Indiana, Ohio???

They used to have routes going from Chicago to Indiana, but it seems like they took that away for the past few years now. Wish they would bring them back.

I miss those $10 tickets from Chicago to Indy. Apparently now there is a flixbus option but it's around $30 one way which isn't too bad but never had experience with them.

tbh: despite doing tremendous job every day of the year, you manage to drop the ball on Megabus every time. It's not enough to quietly insert "All transactions will incur a $3.99 booking fee". You need to continue the sentence "...making it actually $4.99 seats, and NEVER $1 seats under any scenario. Also note that only a Single traveler can buy lowest ($4.99) fare. If anyone is added to same purchase (even one companion) the lowest fare instantly disappears for entire party, including the first individual"

Serious question...why not just drive? Everyone has at least 1 car. Yes it's more expensive but it's quicker and you have more flexibility.

What's the business reason Megabus avoids California (except 1 stop in Truckee)?

I miss the days when they had a bunch of stops in California. I went from Oakland to Anaheim for only $28 roundtrip in 2017.

Quote from AutoEnthusiast :
1. contrary to headline, Megabus won't sell you anything for $1. Due to website fee, the lowest ride is $4.99 - period. No $1 ride
2. all destinations I've seen are abridged to certain periods: either prior to May 12 or only starting May 6. I dare anyone find otherwise
For less than the cost of two gallons of gasoline, it is worth it no matter where they going.
