In what ways can intercity travel become more convenient and efficient for us today? It&#8217;s a question we&#8217;ve asked <em>and<\/em> answered. <a href=\"https:\/\/offmetro.com\/ny\/2010\/05\/12\/megabus-review\/\">It&#8217;s the bus<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>More to the point, it&#8217;s Megabus. The Chicago-based company launched in 2006 as a subsidiary of Coach USA, and has since put itself at the vanguard of high-quality, low-cost city-to-city travel, servicing 19 Midwest and 14 Northeast cities in the United States. Later this summer, Megabus will introduce a new<strong> bus from New York City to Providence.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>After the jump, learn about their big incentive for visiting the Creative Capital of Rhode Island. <!--more--><\/p>\n<p>On August 25, Megabus will give away 1,000 seats with the promo code LUVPROV. Accompanying your free ride will be free Wi-Fi, electrical outlets, reclining seats, and the comforting knowledge that your chosen mode of transport is serious about minimizing its carbon footprint.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We have a safe and reliable service. Our 81 passenger Double Decker buses are the most environmentally friendly vehicles in the US,&#8221; relates Mr. Dale Moser, president and COO of Coach USA. It&#8217;s an impressive claim backed by fact. The Megabus Double Decker uses 25% less fuel per passenger mile than the average car, and gives off 10 times less CO2.<\/p>\n<p>In other words, it&#8217;s efficient. That&#8217;s a word travelers stuck in airports, or watching digits roll at the gas pump, will profoundly appreciate. As will you on your next three day weekend getaway.<\/p>\n<p><em>To book your next cheap green ticket outta town visit <a title=\"Megabus website\" href=\"http:\/\/us.megabus.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">megabus.com<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Great things await travel in our future: jetpacks, floating walkways, miles long pneumatic tubes\u2014all prophesied by the futurists at Hanna-Barbera\u2014but what about the near future?
