I really didn't understand what MegaBus was about, so Aji (username
Mowgli) clued me in. It is a lot more enticing now.

mbus is like having your own seat on a plane but w/ more leg room.
you get your own a/c nozzles, light, pwr outlets (2) per seat, etc.
2nd level has transparent roof so u can see the sky.  its quite nice.
but wifi is 50/50.

Wifi on entire bus but as they gain more passengers it gets quite
saturated.  so if some idiot streams desperate housewifes, a) he
should be shot or tossed while going 70 b) wifi drags.  just luck of
the draw.  it goes up/down.  1st bus was only 5 ppl so it was great.
2nd bus had 20 so it was up/down.

He is traveling during the day Friday so if you want sync-up here is
his schedule, both seats totaled $2!
