How can you get the Megabus $1 ticket?

Get the Megabus $1 ticket by being one of the first to book a seat on a particular bus, as of 2015. A good strategy is to book significantly in advance and to be flexible about your dates and destinations.

The cheap bus fares are the first to go, and there are only one or two available on each bus. Search for tickets on buses that run in one month from your booking date if possible, and book as far in advance as possible. Weekday journeys tend to be less sought-after than weekend trips. Buy a $1 ticket on a bus service to somewhere you might want to travel. Even if you ultimately decide that you do not want to claim your bus seat, your loss is only $1 plus the $0.50 booking charge.
