Get off Megabus Early

Hi,

I can't see why there would be, but there's nothing stopping me getting off the coach at an earlier stop is there? I'll have a bag, but if they're going to segregate based on destination, I assume I can just tell them where I want to get off without showing the ticket?

I ask as for some reason, a bus from Washington to Atlanta via Knoxville is $15 whereas Washington to Knoxville on the same bus is coming up as $21 - not a practise I've ever noticed on Megabus before!

Yeah, obviously it's been around on the airlines for ages - but this is the first time I've ever seen Megabus do it!

Just like with an airline, but easier with a bus, MegaBus could decide that they should transport the Atlanta-bound passengers as nonstop.

I presume this is unlikely, but I vaguely recall that such a thing happened on one of my Vancouver - Seattle (not MegaBus) bus trips with various stops.

It's $6. I'd just pay it to make sure I get to Knoxville.

If it turns into a direct route it will cost you more than $6, and time, to get where you really want to go. One less value meal for peace of mind.
