livincinco Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 Hrm... hard to beat $1 from Houston to dallas... but why would you want to go there in the first place?Some people have been known to believe that Dallas gets all the cool projects while considering Houston 600 sq miles of ghetto. Personally, I can't see it, but some people seem to believe that. Those are the kind of people that probably want to go to Dallas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally, I can't see it, but some people seem to believe that. Those are the kind of people that probably want to go to Dallas.I prefer my 600 square nautical miles of ghetto. Not that it would make a difference for riding the bus, but I think there is only one gas station in all of Dallas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crunchtastic Posted June 20, 2012 Share Posted June 20, 2012 Not that it would make a difference for riding the bus, but I think there is only one gas station in all of Dallas.and their icee machine is always broken. Plus, the restroom is out back and the key to it is sunk in the end of a baseball bat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kylejack Posted June 20, 2012 Share Posted June 20, 2012 Here's the cease and desist Austin sent to Megabus. https://www.piersystem.com/clients/2333/470503.pdfThey said they can't be loading people and luggage on a public street and need to get a terminal.

RedScare Posted June 20, 2012 Share Posted June 20, 2012 Well, well, well. Aren't the hippies quite the upstart business killer! When you have a problem with loading luggage on a public street, you lose ALL claim to the 'weird' label. You do, however, own title to the label of 'snobby bastages'.

houstonartstudent Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 I saw a double-decker Tuesday evening coming from I-10 East to 45-South, presumably to downtown. I'm guessing this is the bus from New Orleans? Does anyone know what types of buses are going to Dallas, San Antonio, Austin(maybe?)....just curious as I bought tickets to Dallas for the June/July weekend and the kid in me is hoping it's a double decker!

One, it looks like it has been nothing but double-decker buses and two, there has been a TON of people lined up to board (even in the rain) for the last couple of days.

Slick Vik Posted June 24, 2012 Share Posted June 24, 2012 I'm on the bus right now coming back from San Antonio. Both buses came on time and the wifi works excellent. Best $1.50 investment ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

About a 10 minute walk from Alamo. Also various city buses can take you to riverwalk from there also including one of the trolley lines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skwatra Posted July 26, 2012 Share Posted July 26, 2012 I was just trying to book a trip to Austin and it wasn't a destination any more. I did a quick search and found this:http://www.khou.com/news/Megabus-cancels-Austin-as-destination--163808336.htmlthat's annoying, I had a few trips to Austin planned where I didn't need a car and it would have been perfect...
