Two companies offer travel across America, for as low as $1 each way!

      Strapped for gas money? Hate the high price of airlines? Want an alternative to pricey train rides? Well all of your prayers have been answered my frugal friend! Two competing companies have started to gain popularity this year, and it is keeping your wallet, and the earth, happy at the same time. Both Mega Bus and Bolt Bus are offering service to and from such cities as New York, Boston, Chicago, Philadelphia and Toronto for low, low prices. After doing a recent search on the Mega Bus site, I found a round trip fare between New York City and Philadelphia for only $2!

      You kidding me? $2 gets you a half a gallon of gas these days! Now not all the fares are that low, but they sure are cheaper than pretty much all other means of transportation…besides a bike maybe. Knowing that bus travel is not the most popular means of travel in America, the two companies have stacked up on some goodies to make you step board their fleet. On both Mega Bus and Bolt Bus, you get a new fleet of clean, alternative fueled buses, that include free wi-fi, outlets to charge your ipods, laptops or cell phones. You will also enjoy big comfortable chairs with plenty of leg room, a clean bathroom and a television on board for the long trips. Check out each either mega bus or bolt bus, for your low cost travel alternatives, the next time you plan a getaway. With prices these low, you can throw away that awful phrase “staycation”, once and for all!
