I’m exhausted from my whirlwind weekend and full day of work. I am not saying “I’m too old for this” but I am saying “I need to schedule more recovery time.” So I’m going to be lazy in today’s post.
Bad picture of a good view of the marsh from aboard the Megabus.
My Advice for Anyone Riding Megabus
1. Brings socks and a blanket. The buses are heavily air conditioned and according to the drivers they have no control.
2. Bring your own snacks. Yes, the bus stops but the locations weren’t ideal and food options were at minimum. I know snacks take up room in your carry-on but it’s worth it, especially is the trip is a long one.
3. Put down the arm between your seat and your neighbors at the beginning of the trip. That way, the line of personal space is very clear, and you won’t have to be awkward about it four hours in when you’ve taken an elbow in the rib for the fifth time.
3. Have patience – with the internet, with other people, with everything.
4. Remember you get what you pay for and you didn’t have to pay much. The bus is clean (including the bathroom), there’s internet and a power outlet, and the view from the top of the double decker is actually impressive.
Is the Megabus my favorite way to travel? No. But will I travel by Megabus again? Yes.
My family and I took a trip up to Waukegan from Tennessee. The trip was straight from HELL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ALL of the drivers drove as if they were being chased, fleeing for their lives! One of the bus drivers that met the bus in Champaign, IL. was late meeting the bus then proceeded to driver like a pure fool! My family and I thought that we were going to crash!! The bus constantly swerved! I prayed that a hwy state patrol would stop us, but no such luck. My family and I will NEVER EVER EVER in this life or the one to come EVER ride a Megabus again! And if you can avoid the Megabus, you will live longer!!!
Trust me, your life is worth the extra money to either fly or rent of vehicle.
Unfortunately, Megabus is headed for some serious issues if they don’t get their lead footed drivers under control!!!
I GIVE megabus ZERO STARS, no NEGATIVE 1,000,000,000 stars.
DON’T RIDE Megabus!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
