> Yesterday was my first time taking Megabus, a discount intercity bus service that began in 2006 and quickly gained notoriety for advertising fares as low as $1 each way. Yesterday was also the first time I had to evacuate a bus as it was catching fire.

My kid is learning how to write good intro paragraphs for a story in school this year. I’m definitely sharing that one with her because that’s about as perfect as a two sentence intro can get. :lol:

Ya the terminal is great and always not bad to get stuck in if there is a delay. Plus with TSA Pre, there is no waiting essentially for me.

“Outside, the driver was fishing out baggage. There was a small fire coming out from one of the wheels on the other side. The fire grew quickly and, within minutes, had spread throughout the back of the bus. People got away as quickly as they could, abandoning their bags. The driver remained, trying to put out the flames with a small fire extinguisher.”
