Round trip MegaBus same trip = $48.00
One hour longer trip on the bus... and interesting "companions" for entertainment!

That’s so cool. I’ve never heard or seen it.
But hey, Willie and I want to know, because I’m against it, and he is for hacks, unions, featherbedding, subsidize, taxpayers getting sodomized, how much the Megabus company is getting in Federal, State grants?
What? They are private? Tax paying? Profit hoping? Done with private investor capital at no risk to the general public?
Huh? What is that activity called? Cap..capi...um ‘free Willie..er free enterprise’?
They can’t even fund a demonstration of a dedicated service between Ann Arbor and Detroit on existing rail. So far their best projections are around $70 per trip for what is a 30 to 40 minute drive at a fraction of the cost.
One way Amtrak to NYC from DC = $127.00
Only because you've waited too long to book this afternoon's train.
Of course if you're really in a hurry, there's still time to shell out $143 for one that leaves this morning.
However, for passengers who's schedules aren't so myopic, the regular fare is $74 bucks by booking just a few days in advance.
And it's a more relaxing trip than getting seated next to some wino on the discount bus.
Those things often get stuck in traffic congestion anyway. Amtrak is much faster and more reliable.
