Just saw this last night and had to share. This is a limited run charter bus service that charges $1 for a ticket! My family and I are considering a trip to Chicago in the near future, and we can get there from Columbus for $1 each. I can't drive anywhere for a buck anymore, and with rising gas prices this just is amazing. Can't wait to try it. The web site is megabus dot com.
 
Um ... is that one of those deals where you get a trip for $1 after you've spent $1000 on regular-price tickets?
 
I don't think so, Cougar. I have never taken it myself, but they just ran a news segment on it here in Chicago. They talked about booking well in advance and only booking online to get the $1 price. If you book right before it apparently costs WAY more. I am a commuter so I see the buses every day lined up outside Union Station, but I am not sure of the details...
 
I just checked a near date in April, $17 a seat to Chicago, $1 a seat on my return date...$18 per person Columbus to Chicago round trip? Cheaper than a car rental and gas. :)
