Megabus

You may have already seen these buses around town or possibly even ridden on one. The design of the Megabus is great, getting passengers from point a to point b cheaply and conveniently. They travel between Midwestern cities and I believe one other group of locations in the east. Their fare system is based on a first come, first served bases, where if you are the first to sign up for a seat on a specific day your fare can be as low as a dollar, where as if you are the last you would have to pay significantly more. The most I've payed for a two way ticket to Chicago was 26 dollars. That wouldn't even get me a tank of gas in my car. Great deal. They don't have bus stations and they don't have ticket counters. They use an online system for their ticketing and designated pick up/drop off site for their "bus station". They are designed to keep prices low for their customers by sticking to the basics, bus and bus driver. I would recommend Megabus for your next trip to a nearby city.
