How to Ride the Megabus

Everyone is looking for the cheapest way to get from here to there and buses have long been an economical choice. Lately, discount buses, specifically concentrating in New York, Boston, and Washington, D.C. have popped up and competed for the lowest price. Megabus is one of these bus lines, with the added feature of offering over 30 destinations and starting points in the North East, the Mid- West, California, and Nevada, some for only a dollar.
