megabus
Cheap intercity transport
Megabus is a low-cost intercity bus service operating in North America and Europe, known for offering fares as low as one dollar for early bookings.
The name has become somewhat generic for budget long-distance bus travel: I took the Megabus from Chicago to Detroit.
The double-decker coaches are distinctive, and the service typically picks up at curbside locations rather than traditional bus stations.
