Bus from New York to Wheeling

[Toyman_Chris]

Did you book a bus ticket for $5.00 or am I reading that wrong? LOL.

As a side note, I am coming from WI, or I would totally be all over riding a Dr. Mego Q&A Bus!!

[drmego]

There is an Enterprise Car Rental less than 1/2 a mile from the megabus drop off.
They have minivans that seat 7 for about $175.00 for the trip.

I will book the van once I find out a few other people are taking the same bus.

This guy gives a blow by blow account of taking the megabus from Pittsburgh to
New York and back.

Traveling by Megabus wasn't too good to be true

[drmego]

Ron,

That was what I was looking for - if a group of us all book the same
bus - we can rent a van together in Pittsburgh and drive to Wheeling.

I'd have done this but I also didn't think there was a remote chance of getting that number of people involved to do it.

Something I'm looking into possibly doing this year is Megabus. They have many hubs so this wouldn't be limited to just the NY area - I know they have hubs in Toronto, DC and Philly for example that go to Pittsburgh. But anyway just to give people an idea of what it is. The NY bus runs from Penn Station in NYC to Pittsburgh. Free Wifi on the bus and they are not overly cramped seats (I've taken this bus from NY to Baltimore). You'd still have to get yourself from Pittsburgh to Wheeling.

The way they work is that they put tickets for the bus on sale in advance - they recently opened up the dates for June. And the prices start super low - as of today, I could book a bus to and from Pittsburgh for $5 each way (each way 400+ miles). The prices increase as the date gets closer. You can check it out at megabus.com

I'm strongly leaning towards taking the bus from NY to Pittsburgh and back for 10 bucks roundtrip and renting a car from Pittsburgh for a few days to get to Wheeling and back. I think I'll just buy bus tickets now regardless and even if I don't end up doing that its just 10 bucks lost.

What's wrong with you people?!?!? The chance to ride in a MEGO Party Bus with Dr.Mego and have him captive and all to yourselves for 7 hours? To be able to ask him any question about Mego and Dr.Mego Repros you can think of? To hear all his stories and get insider info on upcoming releases of EMCE toys?!?!? What more incentive do you need? Everyone in the NY/NJ/CT/PA area who was ever on the fence to go to Mego Meet should be tripping over themselves to go this year!

Okay, so I guess no one is interested in the bus idea - I tried.

Now I have to figure out which is less painful - 10 hours in a car
with my kids or a plane to Pittsburgh.

Doc:

Thanks for trying. Would have been fun and economical, but of course a big detour for me.

I've taken the megabus from Toronto to the buffalo airport and recommend it given how cheap it is.

Is your Harley customized to look like the MEGO Batcycle? I can handle the sidecar.

No, unfortunately not. Here's a pic of it. In fact, I took this pic while on my way to Mego Meet last year.

[Chris]

I'd offer to give someone a ride, but I am planning on riding the Harley there again, so that would get a bit cramped.

[megoapesnut]

I'd be willing to ride on the back of the Harley, if you could pick me up in Oregon...

That would be a heckuva detour. Talk about a scenic route!

[samurainoir]

Mego Suite on Wheels sounds like great fun!

Canada might be too much of a detour for you guys though.

I'd offer to give someone a ride, but I am planning on riding the Harley there again, so that would get a bit cramped. I take the long scenic route. I gotta remember to use some sun screen this year, though. I had tan spots on my hands for months - from air holes in my gloves. Heckuva farmer's tan too!
