I am going to be going to a school that is three hours away, and I need to use the Megabus. How do you score the $1 tickets? I want to come home Labor Day Weekend, but the tickets are $25 for each trip, so that’s $50 for that weekend. I guess I’m screwed in that respect. Do I have to book way in advance to get $1 tickets? How do I do that?
Google the Megabus rules. Yes, first come, first served on scoring ticket prices.
But before you rule out the 25 buck price consider gas price etc. It could still be a decent deal depending on distance of trip.
Son used to ride Megabus and really did get some good deals.
Your college might have a ride board (perhaps online) where students driving by your town offer rides for gas money.
