Hello, world. Megabus has a clickable route map, which is great, but it is missing one important feature: it doesn't have a price-search function. It would be great if, (much like discount airlines such as EasyJet), you could search for "places I can go to from Chicago/DC/Omaha/wherever for $1." You can't do that, but if you book really, really early, you can get to just about anywhere for $1. Megabus just released a whole bunch of new seats today, so there are about a zillion $1 seats available for December-January travel. I went to the trouble of clicking on a few hubs and seeing just how far south you can go for $1. (You will have to play around with the trip date to find your $1 tickets. They jump around with regards to date.) Without further ado, here is a short list of where to warm up this winter, for $2 round-trip:
From Chicago: Dallas, TX
From St. Louis: Dallas, TX
From Washington, DC: Atlanta, GA (Not super hot, unfortunately. It seems to average around the 50s in the winter.)
From Atlanta: New Orleans, LA; Orlando, FL
From San Francisco: Los Angeles, CA
From New York: You're kinda out of luck here. You can get to DC, and from there go on to bigger things, but Megabus transfers are not super great as the buses are often late.
tl;dr: There is a stupid amount of $1 Megabus tickets right now for winter travel. Go buy some! Even if you never go on the trip, you will have only lost $2 per trip anyway, and you can just ask them to give you the money back as credit for another trip.
