Megabus Offering FREE Fares For Midwest, Northeast US Cities and Canada

Perhaps we’re just travel-crazy here at FTF, but we think anyone who would pass up free bus tickets might be equally, if not more, crazy.

For travel between January 2 and March 20, 2010, Megabus.com will be offering 100,000 free seats to encourage Americans (and Canadians!) to get out and see the world. Start booking online today – seats will go fast. Also, be sure to use the promo code GETAWAY to receive free seat offers.

If you’re unable to find free fares for your desired travel dates, Megabus offers surprisingly low rates, some as low (or lower if you do some good research) as $11 for two from New York to Toronto.

Megabus serves cities all over the northeast such as New York, Philadelphia and Boston, as well as several Midwest cities including Chicago, Cleveland and St. Louis. Megabus.com amenities include new double-decker buses with free Wi-Fi, reclining seats, power outlets, on-board restrooms and more.

Visit www.megabus.com or call at 877/462-6342 for additional information on routes, schedules, amenities and fares. Also, be sure to check out FTF’s article on New York’s Chinatown Bus Lines for cheap rates and connections to over 40 U.S. cities.
