New routes for megabus.com network in North America

Stagecoach Group’s market-leading budget coach operator megabus.com is expanding its Pittsburgh service in North America to cover nine additional cities in the United States and Canada.

megabus.com offers daily, express coach travel for as low as £1 in the UK and from $1 in North America.

From 11 May, residents in Pittsburgh will be able to use megabus.com to travel to Akron, Ohio; Buffalo, N.Y.; Cincinnati; Cleveland; Columbus, Ohio; Detroit; Erie, Penn.; Toledo, Ohio and Toronto. Booking are being accepted from today at www.megabus.com for May 11 and beyond.

megabus.com will offer multiple daily departures from its arrival and departure location under the David L. Lawrence Convention Center just north of the intersection of 10th St and Penn Avenue.

A new service from Boston to Secaucus, N.J. also starts running tomorrow (30 March). It will offer six trips a day from South Station to the New Jersey city, which is located within 10 miles of New York City and Newark.
