Title: Another travel option? Post by: USRufnex on July 17, 2006, 08:27:43 pm http://www.megabus.com/us/
I know the prices are insanely low since they're trying to break into the Chicago market, but this concept seems so simple. I took a trip from Chicago to Cleveland this weekend on this service after I'd vowed never to ride Greyhound again. Some advantages: 1. Online purchase is only way to get tix. Didn't have to check-in bags/confirm tix at the Greyhound station. 2. Bus went straight to Cleveland with one stop for a 40 min lunch-- in other words, it didn't take any longer than driving. 3. Picked up from a high profile bus stop across from Amtrak and got off at a nice downtown Cleveland location-- never had to spend any time at a downtown bus terminal. Wonder if Tulsa could have something similar with express bus service to St Louis, KC, OKC, Dallas, Little Rock, Memphis, etc...? Leaving from the Williams Center... dropoff at the arch or Union Station? Bricktown? Couldn't be any worse an idea than Great Plains Airlines, eh? |
