For as little as $1, Los Angeles travelers can now go to San Diego, San Francisco, San Jose, Oakland, Phoenix and Las Vegas.
Megabus.com, an intercity express bus company, began daily service to and from Los Angeles earlier this month and passengers can begin booking travel today via the internet.
Megabus.com, which launched in the United States in April 2006, has served more than 450,000 customers with low-cost fares for express travel to 14 Midwest cities via its Chicago hub.
“Expansion to the West Coast is a natural progression,” said Dale Moser, president and chief operating officer. “There is definitely a need for more transportation options in Los Angeles.”
$1 tickets are always available for a limited number of seats on every megabus.com route, so passengers are encouraged to book early. After all $1 tickets have sold, customers will pay competitive fares.
Booking for megabus.com travel is done solely via the Internet at http://www.megabus.com/. The Web site provides information such as arrival and departure times. The Web site is available in English; a Spanish version is being developed.
