<p>We live in Southern Maryland and our son used HomeRide on Dec 16. The bus leaving from campus is very convenient. The drive from our home to the Vienna Metro station is about an 1.25 hours away but a very easy drive. According to our son, the ride was uneventful, and he’d recommend it even though the price is significantly higher than the Megabus. </p>
<p>We plan to try Megabus for the trip back to VT after break. Driving him to the DC parking lot is about the same distance from our home, but not as simple of a drive IMO (I hate DC driving). Megabus will leave him off in Christiansburg, and he’ll catch a bus back to campus at that point. </p>
<p>Megabus seems a tad more of a hassle from our home and also having to take a bus from Christiansburg to campus, but the price difference is significant. At this point, we don’t know anyone personally who has used it, but we are willing to give it a try.</p>
