Megabus to add 50,000 $1 seats
By Paul S. Makishima | August 7, 2009
Megabus, which guarantees at least one $1 seat per bus trip, says it will free up an additional 50,000 $1 seats for travel Sept. 14 to Nov. 19.
What does that mean to you?
In an e-mail, Amanda Mullin, a company spokeswoman, said, “The added seats will make it so there is upwards of 10 $1 seats per bus.’’
To improve your chances of getting a $1 seat, you need to use the promotional code HOTDEAL when booking your trip online.
Megabus currently provides service between Boston, Hartford, and New York City. On the run to New York, it faces heavy competition from BoltBus and the so-called Chinatown lines, Fung Wah and Lucky Star. To New York, Megabus charges between $1 and $18; to Hartford, between $1 and $14.
The company disclosed in May that it was rolling out double-decker buses, which are now in service. Besides offering 25 more seats than regular buses, the double-deckers offer amenities such as free WiFi Internet access, electric outlets, and televisions.
