History

Megabus Takes Off in the US (2006):

• In April 2006, Megabus (Europe) launched its brand in the US through its bus company, Coach USA.
• They started with daily routes connecting Chicago to many other cities like Milwaukee and Detroit.

West Coast Expansion and Setbacks (2007-2008):

• In 2007, Megabus ventured into California and Arizona with stops in San Francisco, Los Angeles, and Phoenix.
• Unfortunately, passenger numbers were low, and Megabus had to shut down services in these areas by mid-2008.

East Coast Growth and Return to the West (2008-2012):

• Later in 2008, Megabus focused on the East Coast, offering routes to major cities like New York, Boston, and Washington D.C.
• They also added stops in cities like Syracuse and Hartford.
• By 2012, Megabus made a comeback on the West Coast, including stops in San Francisco, Los Angeles, and Sacramento.
• This time, they used train stations and bus transfer points for easier connections.

Change of Ownership (2019):

• In April 2019, Megabus (North America) was sold to a new company called Variant Equity Advisors.
