Megabus and Boltbus Get New Pickup/Dropoff Locations

Passengers riding intercity bus lines Megabus and Boltbus have been wished a bon voyage from the asphalt of the city square on the 900 block of H Street NW. Now, the two lines are saying that same thing to the square itself, moving to two separate locations. Lydia DePillis is first to the news that impending construction of the CityCenterDC complex will mean that Megabus will relocate to a lot at North Capitol and K Street, while Boltbus will move to a space at New Jersey Avenue and F Street NW.

Early Morning Megabus Trips Have a Small Glitch

Megabus and BoltBus are seemingly now the biggest players in the saturated and ever growing D.C.-NYC coach bus market. People may argue about which is better in terms of service, but when it comes to leaving early in the morning, Megabus is hands down the top choice. They’re the only carrier that offers pre-dawn options to New York, leaving from D.C. at 5:15 and 6:15 a.m. Just don’t try to show up for an…

New Web Site Searches Multiple Discount Bus Lines

The low cost bus business has certainly boomed over the last couple of years. While the Peter Pan/Greyhound and various Chinatown bus lines have been offering cheapo rides from D.C. to New York City and Philadelphia for a long time, they now compete with a long list of newcomers, many of whom offer extras like free wireless internet or leather seats. Megabus, the Greyhound-operated BoltBus, Vamoose, and DC2NY are just some of the companies…

Todays Bus Now Part of Eastern Coach/Coach USA

Before 2 p.m. on Monday, I stood at Todays Bus’s New York stop at 3 Pike Street in New York City’s Chinatown, waiting to return to Washington. But my bus was nowhere to be seen. At 2, Eastern Travel came and went. New Century sat around the corner filling up. Hawkers for both stood by slinging tickets. BoltBus and Megabus, which I wish I had booked instead, were miles uptown and probably sold out…

BoltBus, MegaBus Move to New Stop

Penn Quarter Living reminds us that as of Monday, popular discount bus lines BoltBus and MegaBus moved their shared stop two blocks from its previous location, from 11th Street NW just above G Street to around the corner on G Street NW between 9th and 10th. With the rush to get out of town for Christmas in full swing today, do note the change if you’re riding one of these two bus lines up I-95….

Intercity Bus Terminal Planned for Southwest

We know you love being able to grab a cheap bus to New York City, Philadelphia, Baltimore and other destinations along the east cost. Entrepreneurs know it too, which is why we’ve kept track of an explosion in new intercity bus options recently, including BoltBus, Megabus, and DC2NY, along with the traditional Chinatown buses. But with so many more buses picking up and dropping off in several areas of downtown, the District Department of Transportation…

Megabus Running Cheap D.C. to NYC Route

Somehow we missed the news that UK-based Megabus.com (which began its first service in the U.S. in Chicago in 2006) began running low-cost bus service between D.C. and New York on May 30. We spotted this Megabus bus stop sign outside Metro Center on Friday. Much like relative newcomer BoltBus, Megabus.com offers tickets as low as $1 if you book early enough, as well as free wireless internet on board. Looks like they actually…
