I love the Mega Bus my job is out of Charlotte, but I live in Atlanta. Since they started making trips between the two cities I've been on that bus. It's a no frills straight shot ride with WiFi and a bathroom. You can't imagine the savings I have occurred over just the last four months. If you book your trips way inadvance you will get significantly reduced pricing even $1 dollar (yeah I've paid it a couple of times). For me It's not only a great alternative its the only way I'll go between the two cities and its only a 4 hour drive (I drive it in 3 an a half) so its not even a big difference in time.
