Another Bus Bites The Dust

Angelenos now have one less transportation option when it comes to traveling to San Diego.
One of our readers, Michael, reports that Megabus has canceled its Los Angeles to San Diego route. According to Wikipedia, this route was ended due to low ridership and service officially ended on March 23rd. San Diego now joins Phoenix (which ended in January due to low ridership) in the Megabus route graveyard. It was less than a year ago that Megabus was introduced to Los Angeles, and Wad gave us a ride report chronicling the Los Angeles to San Diego route. It looks like even a positive review from MetroRiderLA and fares as low as a buck can’t convince Angelenos to get on a bus. The Los Angeles hub still has a few routes left, including Los Angeles to Las Vegas and Los Angeles to San Francisco (via either San Jose or Oakland). How long will these routes last? Only ridership will tell.
