Many of the riders Wednesday said the biggest reason they are taking the trip is because of how inexpensive it was.
“With gas at $3.20 a gallon, you do the math and for 234 miles and you double that for a round trip and that’s a good deal and you get to relax and read a book or play on your iPod or what eve,” said passenger Brock Davidson.
Services like Megabus offers tickets as low as $1. Although they have limited routes that cover certain regions only, but a total of about $3-$5 on a trip from Philadelphia to New York or London to Cardiff for £7 is a steal. They offer services in United States, United Kingdom and Canada.
