Newsflash: Megabus is coming back to Iowa!


Megabus to restart service in Iowa

LINKEDINCOMMENTMORE

The low-cost bus line Megabus is restarting service in Iowa.

The company said Tuesday that beginning March 1 service will resume with daily stops in Lincoln, Neb., Omaha, Des Moines, Coralville, Moline, Ill., and Chicago. Additional service will be added as needed on weekends and holidays.

Competition from cheap gasoline prompted Megabus to drop its Chicago-to-Omaha bus in January. The route included stops in Davenport, Coraville and Des Moines.

The New Jersey-based Megabus teamed up with Windstar Lines to bring the service back to Iowa. The company will use Windstar buses, which are equipped with WiFi and power outlets. Megabus will handle ticket sales.

The company is offering 500 seats for $1 in the first week of service.
