Bus Travel for as Low as $1

It is hard to resist traveling when the bus fare can be as little as $1. That is cheaper than riding the subway or bus in most cities and towns.

Both Bolt Bus and Megabus offer fares for the incredibly low price of $1. As with most travel, the earlier you book a trip, the greater the likelihood of finding the lower fare. Bolt offers a minimum of one $1 fare on each bus ride. With that kind of fare, it can be worth booking a trip even if you are not 100% certain that you will be able to travel on that date. While refunds are not possible, losing the dollar plus the nominal processing fee may be worth the risk.

Bolt’s buses are “brand spankin’ new”, equipped with Wi-Fi hot spots, offer greater legroom, and power plug-ins. Not a bad way to travel. The buses operate on the east coast: Boston, New York City, Philly, and DC.

Megabus offers more expanded inter city travel in the United States, Canada and the United Kingdom.


It is worth looking at both sites. Consider taking that trip you have always desired, or visiting that long lost relative or friend.
