Getting On And Inside A Megabus
Megabus provides cheap intercity bus service across the US and parts of Canada. If you buy your ticket a week or two weeks in advance, some fares to go up to 300 miles away are as low as 5 to 15 dollars. This video shows hobo Rishayan getting on a Megabus and what it looks like inside. The wifi works pretty good, but , alas, No You Tube...Bad! Bad! Bad!....for me anyway, as I was unable to work on my channel! facebook.com/rishayan

Megabus Launced New Bus Services In West Coast USA
Mega Bus has expanded its services across the west coast in USA and is providing free coupons to travel at fares as low as $1.
3D Mega Bus leaving Boston South Station - I-90
Riding the double decker bus from Boston to New York.
Megabus, branded on buses as megabus.com, is an intercity bus service of Coach USA/Coach Canada and DATTCO (a non-Stagecoach company, under contract) providing discount travel services since 2006, operating throughout the Northeastern United States, parts of the Southeast, and Midwestern United States, South Central United States, and in the provinces of Ontario and Quebec in Central Canada. Initially operated as a spoke-and-hub model, Megabus now operates as a network of routes, with connections in each hub city to another hub or a route operating to another hub.
History
An established brand for no-frills service in the United Kingdom since 2003, Stagecoach Group, through subsidiary Coach USA, introduced the Megabus brand in March 2006. On March 22, 2006, Megabus started taking bookings for new routes in the United States (service began on April 10, 2006), with a network of services based in Chicago with daily routes to Milwaukee, Indianapolis, Cincinnati, Cleveland, St. Louis, Ann Arbor, Columbus, Louisville, Toledo, Detroit, Kansas City, Minneapolis, and State College, Pennsylvania.
On August 8, 2007, Megabus introduced service to the San Francisco Bay Area, Los Angeles, San Diego, and Tempe, Arizona, using Coach America as a contractor.[2][3] Service to the Phoenix area was discontinued in January 2008 due to low ridership and service to downtown San Diego and San Ysidro was discontinued on Sunday, March 23, 2008.
In May 2008, as Megabus was about to be introduced from a hub in New York City, the company announced plans to shut down its Los Angeles hub and discontinue all related services, stating that (I)n this case, the ridership trends aren't growing fast enough. The last day for Megabus services from Los Angeles was June 22, 2008.[4]
While Megabus withdrew from California, it expanded in the Northeast in late May 2008, when Megabus began service from a hub in New York City, with service to Albany, Atlantic City, Baltimore, Boston, Buffalo, Philadelphia, Toronto, and Washington, D.C.. Further expansions included service to Syracuse, Rochester, Hartford and Niagara Falls, Ontario (Niagara Falls and Hartford were later withdrawn). In Spring 2009, while Eastern Shuttle was under Coach USA ownership, runs were added to Megabus under the Eastern Shuttle name, after Coach USA purchased two Chinatown bus companies in late 2008 and early 2009, significantly increasing capacity. Later in 2009, the Megabus concept was expanded to Toronto and Montreal, and the Chinatown bus companies acquired by Coach USA were sold to independent interests. Megabus expanded deeper into Pennsylvania and the Southeast in 2009 and 2010, as the route system evolved from a spoke-and-hub model into a true network.
Fleet
The Megabus fleet can be identified by the megabus.com name on the front and sides in yellow against a blue base, and the Megabus logo on the left side of the coach (facing forward) and rear of the bus. The DATTCO fleet used for Megabus service is also decaled with Megabus logos (but with a DATTCO logo instead of a Coach USA logo).
Upon its introduction, Megabus service began with used MCI 102EL3 Renaissance coaches, often transferred from other Coach USA operations, with some services utilizing Chicago- and Milwaukee-based Coach USA buses. In 2007, Coach USA updated its Chicago-based Megabus fleet with new MCI J4500 single-deck and Van Hool TD925 double-deck motorcoaches.
In May 2008, Megabus expanded to the Northeast market, with a fleet of mostly brand-new MCI D4505 coaches, a number of new Van Hool TD925-double decker buses, and some buses purchased secondhand or transferred from the Chicago fleet. This expansion came as Megabus exited from the West Coast market.[4] Further expansion in the Northeast came in the fall and winter of 2008-2009, when additional double-decker buses were delivered, resulting in much of the single-deck buses being transferred to sister operation Eastern Shuttle, pushing many of the EL3s to retirement. The fleet transferred to Eastern Shuttle was eventually returned to mainline Coach USA duty following divestiture a few months later.
All Megabus coaches branded as such in the United States are equipped with Wi-Fi and electrical outlets.
In accordance with ADA regulations, wheelchair-accessible service is available on all lines with 48 hours advance notice (although most service is operated with true-low-floor double-deck coaches). Such service cannot be booked online, but must instead be booked by contacting Megabus.com's toll-free number.
The Canadian Megabus fleet consists of 15 2009 TD925 buses and are operated by Trentway-Wagar.[6] All of the Canada fleet is equipped with electrical outlets and Wi-Fi.

My Greyhound Journey to New York City
This video shows the portion of my trip to New York City from Whitby, ON to Syracuse, NY.
I rode the GO Train from Whitby to Union station in Toronto. Then, I took a taxi from Union Station to the Toronto Bus Terminal. From there, I boarded a highway bus which took me all the way to the Port Authority Bus terminal in New York City. The bus crossed the Canada/USA border at Niagara Falls, and also stopped in Buffalo and Syracuse in New York State.
My ticket was purchased from Greyhound, but the trip was chartered to 'New York Trailways'. I was very satisfied with my trip on the bus. Very affordable and comfortable.
Check out the continuation of this video to see my arrival and first reaction seeing New York City for the first time in my life.
Megabus Trip: Pittsburgh to Toronto Part 3 (Arrival in Buffalo and departing the Border)
This is a video of my Megabus Trip aboard on Unit#SD64508 a 2008 MCI J4500 Coach with a Cummins ISM Engine and ZF AsTronic Transmission with Intarder. I was heading home to Toronto from Pittsburgh. There was a 5 minute break to stretch the legs and checking in with the CBSA was a breeze!
Greyhound New Buses
Greyhound debuted a new fleet of buses with a new look and experience in Chicago.
The iconic dog gets a makeover inspired by Greyhound's rich design history, accompanied by an updated blue and silver color palette and new Greyhound script logo.
Inside the bus, riders will experience new amenities and features that allow them to:
• Stay connected with free Wi-Fi
• Stretch out with additional leg room
• Plug in and stay charged with power outlets
• Feel secure and comfortable with three-point, adjustable seat belts
New buses are currently serving the Midwest routes with a gradual roll out across North America to replace the fleet entirely.

Queenston–Lewiston Bridge
The Lewiston–Queenston Bridge, also known as the Queenston–Lewiston Bridge, is an arch bridge that crosses the Niagara River gorge just south of the Niagara Escarpment. The bridge was officially opened on November 1, 1962. It is an international bridge between the United States and Canada. It connects Interstate 190 in the town of Lewiston, New York to the General Brock Parkway (Highway 405) in the community of Queenston, Ontario. The Lewiston–Queenston Bridge is a replica of the Rainbow Bridge at Niagara Falls.
Customs plazas are located on both ends of the bridge, with tolls only being charged on entering Canada (USD$3.50 or CAD$4.50 per automobile as of Dec. 15, 2015). The bridge accepts E-ZPass electronic toll collection and houses the second Canadian E-ZPass collection facility, after the nearby Peace Bridge. Also, two duty-free stores are located between the two plazas.
The bridge permits no pedestrians, but licensed taxi service is permitted. The Lewiston–Queenston Bridge lacks expedited border clearance facilities for NEXUS and FAST card holders traveling from Canada to the United States, but does have a NEXUS lane for travel into Canada.
Gantries have lights indicating the direction of traffic as the lanes are reversible. Speed limit is posted in kilometres and miles per hour (15 mph or 24 km/h limit) along the bridge. A set of flags, Canada and United States, are found at the midpoint on the south side of the bridge.
The current arch bridge replaced an old suspension bridge called the Queenston-Lewiston Bridge which was located seven-tenths mile (1.1 km) north. Coincidentally, the suspension bridge was originally built near the location of the present-day Rainbow Bridge, and was moved to Queenston in 1898 by R.S. Buck and engineer L.L. Buck, after the completion of the Rainbow Bridge's predecessor, the Upper Steel Arch Bridge. The suspension bridge was dismantled in 1963.
There are a couple of reminders of the earlier bridge. First are two columns that lie within the Earl W. Brydges Artpark State Park. Second is the original brass plaque, now located midspan alongside the road, right at the border between the two countries. The plaque is flanked by a US and a Canadian flag.
The supports are part of Owen Morrell's Omega, a steel sculpture and observation platform added in 1981. Two columns remain are found on the Canadian side at the foot of York Street in a wooded area now known as York Park.
The first Queenston-Lewiston Bridge was built in 1851 by engineer Edward Serrell and wrecked by wind in 1864 (or 1854). Some of the cables were still in place as late as 1895. The road deck span was about 841–849 ft (256–259 m). The suspension bridge design was unusual because the cables were attached to the cliff with only small towers. This made the road deck span shorter than the cable span of 1,040 feet (317 m).

Roar on the Shore - Erie PA 2013 -1500 Bikes
The Roar on the Shore® bike rally was created in 2007 for a greater purpose — to serve as a major fundraising event in the Erie, Pennsylvania region. Now, entering its seventh year in 2013, Roar on the Shore® has quickly become one of the fastest-growing FREE bike rallies in the United States.
Each July, more than 100,000 bikers and bike enthusiasts descend on this city located along the shores of Lake Erie, to enjoy three days of rides, bands, bike contests, custom motorcycles, bike accessories and more. In fact, our Bringin' in the Roar Bike Parade is an annual tradition, with 5,000 to 6,000 bikers, led by a celebrity grand marshal, rolling into town to take part in one of the largest escorted rides in history — the official kickoff of ROAR®!
At ROAR®, bikers are able to experience the best of the Great Lakes region. From Erie's spectacular bayfront and Presque Isle State Park, on to North East's wine country and Chautauqua Lake, New York, riders will see some of the most beautiful scenery this part of the country has to offer.
What is the Best Commuter Rail in the United States?
Many cities in the United States have some sort of train network; whether small or big. What is your favorite passenger railroad and why? (Is it because it carries a lot of people? It is an old system? The stations are really beautiful etc.) Comment below.
-
Wikipedia was used to establish ridership, which is distinguished as daily - ( my personal preference) or yearly (if daily was not provided). Additionally, the system length in miles along with the number of stations, the owner and the operator of the system, along with any additional information is provided. Please note that ridership can vary by year and the years used for ridership are not consistent for this video.
-
In some commuter rail systems, the system operates regionally across multiple cities, states, and jurisdictions; however, the biggest city was identified that the commuter rail serves and highlighted in this video.
AMTRAK is also excluded since it is a national rail, while Brightline is private.
I do apologize for somehow leaving out Minneapolis:
Northstar: Daily Ridership: 2700; 7 Stations; Owner is BNSF and Metropolitan Council; System Length: 40 miles.
-
So what is your most favorite system and why? Do you agree with the assumptions made by this video?
