Megabus Releases 100,000 Free Tickets For Early 2010 Travel

It's that time of the year again—the time when budget bus company Megabus releases 100,000 free tickets for travel during their slow period after the holidays.

Starting today, book a Megabus ticket on any route for travel between January 6 and March 20, use promo code "GETAWAY," and enjoy a free ticket. The promo is part of an effort with NYC & Company, NYC’s marketing and tourism office, to get more people to the city. Ain't nothing wrong with that!

The deal is subject to availability though, so booking earlier is better. We tested it out by searching one of their longest routes, NYC to Toronto, and indeed it showed that all tickets were free at this time.

If you can handle a long bus ride versus a quickie plane trip, then Megabus will at least try to keep you comfortable and entertained with free WiFi, reclining seats, power outlets, on-board restrooms and the occasional double-decker bus (sitting up front on the top is pretty sweet/dangerous in a snowstorm). Just be sure to read through our list of The Top Five Tips For Surviving Budget Bus Travel first.
