Why is this in NW thread?
With all due respect, this appears to be a site for bus tickets. How is this related to NWA might I ask?

Ryanair consistently sells seats for a penny, and has seen increasing profits every year they've flown.

I have used megabus in the UK and it was extremely efficient and cheap. Not luxury by any means, but a 345-mile trip for $5 can't be beat. I think I would have ended up with about 1" more legroom if I had taken the UK equivilent of Greyhound for a cost of $80 more (or 17x the price).

It is interesting to see if the concept would work in the US.
