Megabus.com Offers 200,000 Free Seats
City-to-city bus service encourages travel across U.S.

NEW YORK, Dec. 5, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Megabus.com, the first city-to-city, express bus service offering fares from $1, today announced it is offering 200,000 free seats for travel Jan. 9 to Feb. 28, 2013. Customers can begin booking their free seats today.

The free seats will be subject to availability for travel Jan. 9 - Feb. 28 to/from cities served by megabus.com in the USA and Canada. Travelers will need to use the promo code TRYMEGABUS to book their free seats.

Due to local regulations within Canada, free seats for travel to Kirkland and Montreal are excluded, however additional $10 seats have been made available. Within the USA, Academy, Concord, ShortLine and Suburban bus lines will also be excluded from the free seats offer. 

"This exciting giveaway makes it possible to invite a friend and go on a fun weekend trip, get out of town to visit family or just enjoy a major city you never thought about visiting before," said Mike Alvich, megabus.com's vice president of marketing and public relations. "Megabus.com offers $1 and other affordable fares every day, but a chance at a free ticket means there's no reason to stay home. Our new service hubs in Los Angeles and San Francisco allow even more Americans to take advantage of this exciting opportunity and connect to more of the things they love."

"Megabus.com offers service to more than 120 cities in North America," added Alvich. "That means there are millions of potential travelers that can use the free tickets to experience megabus.com's service for the first time."
