If the traveler is very price sensitive, that is an option he would consider

  Definitely. I regularly take a bus from Ohio to NYC for personal trips at ~$100 RT (with no price hike for booking at the last minute). The cheapest flights in comparison are more like ~$450.

    > The cheapest flights in comparison are more like ~$450. There is nothing wrong with preferring the bus, but your cost estimate doesn't seem right. Did you try searching with the linked site? Or with Google Flights? I don't know where you live, but looking a month out, I see lots of sub-$200 fares from Cleveland, Akron, and Columbus, as well as some sub-$300 fares for last minute.

      Cincinnati, which is the curveball. We're one of the top 10 most expensive airports in the country [1]. Ex. On Google Flights, 2-day RTs from CVG <--> EWR over the next 3 weeks are: $407-621, then $371-520, then $375-593. 1.
