So I took the Megabus from Baltimore to DC. It was great! The bus was the same as a regular coach bus, and stated that it had WiFi (I couldn't check though because I didn't want to cart my laptop). The bus up was about half full ( ie everyone except for a few had 2 seats to themselves) The bus back home was 3/4 full...

we made good time both ways and I will definitely use them again.

Also, on the way up I saw a few BoltBuses coming back the opposite way... turns out its the same type deal as Megabus. A couple in front of me night 1 at MSG had taken the BoltBus from DC ( for $1!) and they said it was great... and half full.

I am sure that many of you have forgotten ( due to the NOTB frenzy!) that I will be traveling soon to see Pearl Jam up north

I was looking at options last month and it was really between Amtrak ( for about $60-80 each way) and the Chinatown bus (about $20 each way).

Then I saw something that CNN picked up about $1 trips! So I looked into it and basically MegaBus charges you based on how far in advance you book your tickets....I booked today and its going to be $18.50 ROUNDTRIP!!!
