Of course we will have those who feel it is below them to travel by bus.
If the Megabus is anything like Red Coach, it'll certainly not be below me. As I said, the comfort, the stress-free ride just kickin' back...maybe it's because my commute time each day is 2-3 hours that I appreciate it more but saving gas $ to boot, I'd say it's a win-win, provided you get there safely!

I have taken it several times from Atlanta and I love it. You can also go to Atlanta via Orlando and to New Orleans. Great time to visit during Mardi Gras

It's two steps above Greyhound crowd because you can only purchase a ticket online. Greyhound let's lower class people pay for their tickets with cash

No... I just remember getting the phone calls from my daughter changing the time that she needed to be picked up! One night, we dropped her off at the bus station around 11:30 pm and the bus didn't come until nearly 2am. I know this because she kept texting her frustrations to me...every 10 minutes or so!

The MegaBus I rode had internet service and if you got on first a table in the center downstairs with bench seats on either side. Most people seemed to want to ride upstairs so the rest wasn't as crowded. There were more students as opposed to the clientele at Greyhound. This was one of the Northeast routes.

Am sorry for the lost of the accident

I used the wifi too and had a really enjoyable ride from Boston to Manhattan for $1.
