Megabus.com adds Philadelphia-D.C. line

Penn students heading to the nation’s capital will soon have a new inexpensive travel option.

Starting March 21, megabus.com — an intercity express bus service — will offer a route between Washington, D.C., and Philadelphia.

Megabus.com CEO Dale Moser said there is a “high demand” for a bus route between the two cities.

Of the services popular among students, BoltBus does not offer routes between Philadelphia and Washington, while New Century Travel and Apexbus do.

With the addition of the new bus route, “the demand is being met,” Moser added. “Obviously, this will help tourism.”

Buses will depart daily from Philadelphia at 3:05 a.m., 8:30 a.m., 1:45 p.m. and 7:40 p.m. Travel time between the two cities is an estimated at two and a half to three hours, according to a megabus.com press release.

As a promotion of the Philadelphia-Washington line, the company is offering $1 to $5 seating on the new route. Regular prices range from $1 to $11. Customers who make early reservations have a better chance of obtaining lower pricing, according to Moser.

The double decker buses offer free wireless internet, plug-in outlets, accessibility features for disabled persons.

They also “give off seven times less carbon dioxide than a standard automobile and take less than a pint of fuel per passenger mile,” Moser said.

By taking a bus instead of an individual car, passengers can help decongest highways, he explained.

“You save money in your pocket, but you’ve done all of these other things for the environment at the same time,” Moser said.

Megabus.com began service in the Midwest in April 2006 and on the East Coast in March 2008, according to Moser.

“I’ve taken buses to New York before, and as far as I can see, they’re just as nice as the train and cheaper,” Engineering freshman Lena Abraham said of megabus.com.

I keep waiting for one of these distressed, failing newspapers to realize that it has nothing to lose and get a little crazy and create something brand new and brilliant for readers and advertisers.

These are really the best services provided. Of the services popular among students, BoltBus does not offer routes between Philadelphia and Washington, while New Century Travel and Apexbus do. I will bookmark it for further understanding.

Car hire in Rome itself is of little value as the public transport system means the city is easily accessible. There is, however, a ring road surrounding the city which connects to a major road called the Autostrada del Sole, and Rome car hire can be the ideal means of getting out of the city and exploring the sights to the north or south.

will allow you take a break from the hustle and bustle of the city centre, perhaps to Palestrina, which is small town concealing the ruins of a large temple; or to Cerveteri, which is an Etruscan city for the dead, providing them with tombs styled as houses in the serene countryside. If you'd like to see the sea, your car rental can take you to Terracina, an old town, with a long sandy beach as well as a ruined Roman temple, or to Sperlonga, which also blends the seaside with archaeology. And wine lovers will adore a trip to Frascati, which is a beautiful hill town and home to the wine of the same name.
