scottheisel Posted December 8, 2009 Share Posted December 8, 2009 Holy shit, people, get on this -- I just booked a trip to Chicago and it cost me only $.50 after fees. http://www.megabus.com Enter the promo code "GETAWAY" when you're searching for your dates -- that will make the free tickets for your trip pop up. There's a $.25 processing fee for each ticket, but essentially, you just booked a trip for the price of a can of soda. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

monk0nuggets Posted December 8, 2009 Share Posted December 8, 2009 Thanks for the heads up Scott! Saw this on facebook and booked a trip to NYC. It's only a weekend trip, but who cares? It will be fun and random. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tanukichu Posted December 8, 2009 Share Posted December 8, 2009 Booked a bus for March for the Henry Rollins shows. Now i just need the Henry Rollins tickets. It's a shame I cant use this for my trip on Friday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottheisel Posted December 8, 2009 Author Share Posted December 8, 2009 By the way, you can book as many separate trips as you want to with this code -- there's no limit. And the best thing is, if you end up not being able to make the trip, you're only out 50 cents. Might as well just book a different trip every weekend and see what fits in your schedule!

dynamitekid Posted December 8, 2009 Share Posted December 8, 2009 yes, let's all take advantage of this businesses generosity. I think i'll book a trip from Millwaukee to New York for this weekend and every weekend for the next year, just because I can. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
