![]() Then route down to Virginia.īurlington – Boston – New York – Philadelphia – Washington DC – Richmond. Since I haven’t been to Toronto since childhood, that would be my first choice but the cheaper routing is via Burlington and Boston. My inclination would be to start in either Toronto, or Burlington and Boston. But when telaporters come up with a rewards program… Long haul flying I can deal with because I know it’s the quickest way to get there, and I still spread it out. So, I can’t possibly do long haul bus rides and would have to break it up into 1-3 hour rides. I enjoy the being there part a lot, everything about being there really, like the city sightseeing, the people, the food, and even the hotel part (which for us is like going home). ![]() I don’t actually enjoy the “transport” part of travel. I mean for ~$1 why not just do that everywhere? The thought is actually going through my head of trying to see half the country with Megabus. (Btw, I like to use the map to figure out routes, then test out the prices.) For now, just read my post, Free $120 in Uber Rides (although the Amex Sync deal is dead).Īnyways, I’m not going to write a Hopper post… but if I were, I would do something like this: But… I’ll explain more how to get around a thing or two with that later. Because of the current $30 rides promo with Uber, which for me I basically get $60 in two free rides per signing up. The other thing I did to cut down on price was taking an Uber. And even if there was a direct flight, I think it would come out pretty close with all the hoops. So the Megabus, which took less than 2 hours, is less time in total than flying would have been. The bus on the other hand will leave from downtown and therefore takes 15 minutes to get to, and like today, I showed up only 20 minutes early.Īnd the funny thing is that there would be no direct flights from Orlando to Tampa, so I would have had to route through Atlanta or something. Let me put it this way, if I’m going to take a Southwest flight from out of NYC I would have to pay $5 in taxes for the Southwest flight, $2.50 for the Subway, another $2.50 to connect from the Subway to the airport by bus, and show up an hour early and spend an hour in transit.ĭomestic will cost me $10+ and 2-3 hours of my time. That being said, $5 is usually the next price point, and that ain’t too bad either. Or, the tickets might not be $1 for the days you want. ![]() However, the bigger problem is that not all routes will necessarily have the $1 price. Buying the tickets weeks, (maybe the full two months) in advance is the only way to get the $1 tickets. If everyone on here paid what I paid, they’ll lose money on the tolls alone.īut luckily for them, the tickets are not always $1.įor a ticket that cheap, generally they want a commitment. Although, I will say I’m shocked at how few people are on this bus right now. And I have to say, they added a lot of routes! And in a couple more years, you really may be able to connect the entire country on cheap Megabus tickets. It’s not that I had never heard of Megabus, but I hadn’t actually checked their website in a couple of years. But then realize, “there’s no trick to that… it’s just cheap”. Because with both, for one second I think about the insane number of places I can see for cheap. Equally ridiculous, but tempting, is a Megabus Hopper post. Basically you just pay for the flights you want. Ya know, I thought about writing a Southwest Hopper post one time, and, that’s just a bad idea. Unlike flying, Megabus leaves from downtown, doesn’t require me to arrive super early for TSA, has free wifi, and the price of the ticket came out to be 30% of the airport taxes on a miles ticket. Which got me thinking, that is way cheaper than using miles to get from one city to another, so why don’t we do this more often? Actually, I’m on the bus right now, and when we arrive we’ll take another free Uber ride.Īll in all, we spent $3 to go from our hotel in Orlando to our Hotel in Tampa. Our Megabus ticket was $3 for the two of us. Today I woke up and took a free Uber ride to the Megabus station.
