I love the Vonlane!

like

If you are comfortable with the premium costs, Vonlane is fantastic

Vonlane is totally safe and pleasant if that’s your concern.

That being said, it’s still a bus charging $100 - don’t be fooled by the formal name. You can get $42 flights from Austin to Dallas.

What's your budget? I heard good things about Vonlane but it's pricey. Greyhound, Flix, and Megabus are cheaper but you might encounter more or less questionable people depending on the time of year. Less when school is in cause then you'll have more students taking them. Oh, and if your travel is in Sept, consider flying cause I saw some cheap flights with Southwest the other day for the month. You can get a round trip flight for like $80 something, which is probably about the same you gonna spend for the bus tickets and save you 2.5 hours time.

Vonlane, if not then Megabus or fly Southwest like someone else suggested. Don’t do Greyhound.

Vonlane all the way, they take all the express roads and you’ll get there faster on the bus then you would in your own car. You won’t regret it!

Vonlane is great and only $100. Absolutely love it

One way. And these days a little more!

Thanks all! I checked Vonlane and it’s looking pricey - $120 one-way. That’s why I was hoping for other options. Sounds like Megabus could work?

Red coach is better than mega bus I think

Renting a car and driving

Yeah, you can fly or drive easier

Vonlane is the nicest, if you can tolerate the high price

If you do the Megabus - I've felt totally safe as a woman assuming your ride is during the day & you can keep your backpack/valuables with you in your seat.

Can't do Megabus anymore. They shut down all Texas route

If anyone is interested in taking a summer trip to Myrtle Beach from 7/29-8/5, I am renting out my timeshare with Marriott's OceanWatch Villas at Grande Dunes. This resort is right on the beach and offers many fun activities for the whole family! The two-bed, two-bath condo has a fully furnished kitchen and can fit up to 8 people. I am ideally looking for someone to rent it out for the entire week for about 3K total. Message me for more information!

I used to be a big fan of Jetblue(nyc based), but lately I feel like the airline is just as bad as the low cost ones. Old aircrafts, canceled and delayed flights. I can see why it’s important for JetBlue to have this merger for their relevance in this field.

I rented a house that had been vacant for a bit & the prior tenant didn’t do a thorough job cleaning up. Agent indicated the owner would be open to having the house cleaned but I would need to have the house professionally cleaned when I moved out (that was fine w me). I just received the bill from the owner for $250, which is super annoying bc there was no expectation communicated that I would foot the bill for this, more so bc the cleaner did a LOUSY job.
