Bus Hotel From Los Angeles To San Francisco

Couple films their experience taking a "Bus Hotel" from L.A. to S.F. Interesting. A bullet train would be better.

7. LAX to OAK or SFO? I seriously doubt that ...

Now, the outskirts of N. LA County ... to, say, Tracy?

Okay, that's doable ... Sammy Hagar

I also used to make regular runs from LAX to JFK in 50hrs. That's all I'm going to say about that.

9. Once drove from Hollywood to SF in a IROC in just under 4 hours. Had to stop for gas 4 times!

On the I-5 doing double the Sammy Hagar song most of the way... 380 miles total...

In a different life, way crazy times...

2. well, I guess it is an option, but I'm not so trusting to tune out when being "driven"

the bunks also looked pretty darned claustrophobic.

5. I know every bump in the 101 between LA and San Fran.

I live in Santa Maria which used to be called Center City, half way between the two cities.

I would rather drive than fly or any other means of transport.

8. what about an electric, railless train?

Combine the ideas of Canada's electric bus fleets with those crazy Australian road trains and make an electric, luxury people hauler that doesn't need rails.

12. No word about the fare for that trip?

I'd just drive. Six hours is a typical time for that trip in a car, if you avoid rush hour traffic times. More if you stop along the way to eat or whatever. If I had a business meeting, I might fly, but airport time, and transit time from SFO to downtown are issues. It's almost a wash, really.
