Megabus.com says its vehicles are equipped with movie screens and free wireless Internet connections. The service is expected to start May 30. It also plans to offer cheap travel to and from six other East Coast cities.
BoltBus announced earlier this month that it would offer $1 fares between New York, Boston and Washington.
Hopefully it’s better than the Chinatown Bus.
