- nrp 7y agoThey appear to be initially targeting the customer who wants to take a weekend trip to LA from SF or vice versa. That’s a high volume route, which also makes it super competitive for air travel. It seems a round trip flight costs on the order of a one way Cabin bus ride, so I assume they are targeting customers who have chosen not to fly for personal reasons.
- dmurray 7y agoOr just comfort. They're definitely marketing it as a luxury option, at least in comparison to a regular flight or a regular bus.

Wake up in a new location each day. All of Canada in a week. No going to the air port and all that mess just meet back at the bus at a certain hour.
- Scoundreller 7y agoA landcruise. I like it. A european company did something like this: Busabout. They ran a circuitous route (or two) around W. Europe. You'd buy a 30d pass and hop on/off wherever you wanted. You could continue, back-track, whatever you wanted. Doubt they had sleepers. Kinda like the Eurail passes I guess.
- pseingatl 7y agoThe DR did it as well: Terrabus. But no overnight trips.
- servercobra 7y agoYeah, which sucks as someone living in LA. The last thing I want is a Sun -> Fri trip to SF..
- hn_throwaway_99 7y agoExcept for the 'vice versa' part of your comment. The bus on Thursday only leaves from from SF, so it's only the SF to LA weekend trip that is supported.
- m463 7y agoMaybe it's a proof of concept/test and more will be planned if successful?
