There is a real market demand for cheap, reliable and safe city-to-city bus transportation. If you're thinking of a Greyhound terminal in a seedy part of town, boy, have things changed. Greyhound has launched a new line called Bolt Bus with 8 daily trips between Washington, D.C. and New York. Online fares start at $1 and on board amenities include free wifi. The push for cheap fares among big cities really started with bus lines running in the Washington D.C./New York/Boston corridor that were geared toward ethnic Chinese customers. There's also a European player in the game called Megabus with service in the Midwest states of Missouri, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Illinois, Michigan, Indiana, Ohio, Tennessee; and out West in Nevada and California. Any of these options offer great alternatives to flight delays and high gas prices the next time you have to move around.
