Greyhound Stimulates Us

Well, sort of. Earlier this month American bus operator Greyhound introduced its own Travel Stimulus Package. The discount deals include, according to its site:

• Friends and Family Companion Fare: Up to three companions can travel at 50 percent off with the purchase of one adult standard walk-up fare. A three day advance purchase is required.
  
  
• Deeply Discounted Advance Purchase Fare: Ten day advance purchase fares are 75 percent off adult standard walk-up fare. Two hundred fifty tickets are available for purchase daily.
  
  
• Expanded E-Fare: E-Fares are priced at a 20 percent discount off the adult standard walk-up fare.
  
  
• Holiday Bounce-Back Coupon: For all tickets sold in terminals during the holiday period (Dec. 15 - Jan. 5), a coupon will automatically print that will offer customers a 20 percent discount for their next trip during the redemption period (Jan. 6 - March 31).

The deals might not be as great as BoltBus or MegaBus (where you can get one-way tickets for as little as $1), but if Greyhound is the only bus you can take, then the bus operator provides some rather stimulating options.
