SleepBus runs overnight between SF and LA for $48

[yortsed snacilbuper]

New bus service between Los Angeles and San Fransisco offers a sleeping berth, on-board wifi, and more to present a compelling alternative to flying.



Each pod has an electric socket (so you can power and charge your devices while under way) and there's on-board wifi, desks should you prefer to sit up and work, coffee and tea, and room for three bags and even a bicycle in the luggage compartment. The whole trip takes about seven hours, which is a bit longer than the typical hour-and-twenty-minute flight between LAX and SFO, even once you take into account extra time for check-in, clearing security, and transit.

But the SleepBus travels overnight, so you leave one city at 11 pm and arrive at the other end by 6 am – plus they'll even let you stay on board until 7:30 if you want to sleep in a little.

2. I will have to add this to my Megabus and Bolt Bus choices, when going "intra-state."

Thanks!

6. This would make for a great weekend trip to the City (if you *could* sleep on it) . . .

(I have troubles sleeping in a moving vehicle, no matter which form it is.)

7. I'm still waiting for this...

10. I'd give my right foot for a ride on a bus like that.

[angstlessk]

11. But I don't think THAT bus would go anywhere near SF

Some stretch limos get caught on their streets...imagine that bus traversing Lombard St? It might just meet it's own rear end?

16. One of my favorite movies! One-lane swimming pool, one-lane bowling alley.

12. Thats like German tour buses in the US I've seen.

Except they have seating too. People sleep in the back berth pods at night.

15. These I've seen in films about German travelers. Decent way to go.

22. Das Rollende Hotel!

I remember seeing one in the Jordanian desert in 1989. It was a normal bus with the bunks in a trailer.

13. Looks great

But surely at 48 it can't make any money?!

[valerief]

17. They probably pay drivers some GOP-approved wage. You know, shit. nt
