Megasbus

OK, lets get everything straight.

#1 The bus ride is 6 hours from downtown Des Moines to downtown Chicago

#2 There is 1 stop in Iowa ******.

#3 The bus used from Des Moines to Chicago will not be a double decker. It does look like it will have Wi-Fi though.

If I do a google maps of this exact same route it says that it will take 5 hours and 23min.

Parking your car will cost roughly $30/day or more

It's 333(x2) miles to Chicago. If your car gets 30 miles/gallon=$60+ roundtrip. Thsi doesn't count wear and tear expense.

I think it looks like a great idea for someone that just wants to go to downtown Chicago for the weekend or a game.

If the bus had wifi I'd consider it, that's cheap and one stop will make the trip short. Granted I never go to Chicago though.

You still have to ride with a bunch of other people though, who odds are are either going to be annoying, loud, or smelly, or a delightful combination of the three.

Are seats assigned? For $5 each you could buy more than one seat and still come out ahead and have plenty of room.

Simple. Just louse it up and be smellier than the other busriders. Maybe wear a burka. That will ensure privacy.

That was probably greyhound those do stop like very 30 mins. This looks like it only stops in des moines, iowa city and chicago. Could be wrong tho.

I know for a fact it WASN'T Greyhound.
