Megabus is a low-cost intercity coach service launched by the Stagecoach Group in 2003. It markets budget fares on scheduled routes between major cities, using a yield-management pricing model: the earliest seats on a route are often the cheapest, and fares increase as availability shrinks. Megabus emphasizes simple, no-frills travel—point-to-point schedules, curbside and station pickup points, and online or mobile ticketing rather than full-service terminals.

The fleet and service level vary by region and route, but many coaches offer free Wi‑Fi and onboard power outlets on at least a portion of their vehicles. Because Megabus focuses on affordability, onboard amenities and legroom are generally functional rather than premium. Tickets are sold primarily through megabus.com and the mobile app; promotional fares (including limited $1 seats on some routes) are a familiar part of its pricing. Expect fast, inexpensive city-to-city travel with the trade-offs common to budget coach carriers: limited luggage space, curbside boarding, and schedule performance that depends on road and traffic conditions.
