I haven't ridden Megabus yet. I always just default to Bolt Bus because I haven't had any real problems with them yet and they drop me off fairly close to my buddy's apartment in Manhattan. BUT, I do have some friends in DC that I haven't seen in a while. As bus ridership continues to grow, so does Megabus. The four-year-old company will add service from Boston to Baltimore and Washington on Dec. 15 — the only bus line to offer direct trips from Boston to the D.C. area.
But some industry analysts question whether Megabus, which has had success on the popular Boston-New York route, will be able to get people to make a nine-hour trip.
A few seats on each bus will start at $1 each way; the top ticket price has not been determined.
Is it really a 9 hour trip? I don't remember it taking that long. But then again it's been a lil while since I've made the drive. I'm going to have to consult with bloggery media rep dwillens since he's from that area.

Driving at 80 miles an hour, my typical speed of travel driving, I can get there in 8 hours. So, it is just a little slower. Seems like a good idea.
