Trailways, the nation's bus industry leader, has some
travel bargains that even those on the most stringent
budgets can afford.
For a maximum of $99 one-way you can go anywhere
Trailways serves and make an unlimited number of stops
along the way. "For instance if you are traveling from
Boston to Los Angeles, your bus would travel through
New York, NY; Washington, DC; Memphis, TN; Little
Rock, AR; Dallas, TX; Oklahoma City, OK, and
Albuquerque, NM. With the Trailways $99 ceiling fare ^“^‘‘burenronmenl’had
you could get off the bus in any number of those cities," ’ ....
stated Ann Helms, Trailways’ Director of Passenger
Sales Marketing. "The only requirements are that you
schedule your stops along your bus's standard route and
complete your one way travel within 15 days.”
If the places you’d like to go this summer do not
follow the same route, Trailways has another option, the
EaglePass. With a Big Red EaglePass you can travel
anywhere Trailways goes for a set number of days at a
standard price. For help in planning your summer
vacation call the Trailways location nearest you.
“Our meet or beat fare policy guarantees that when
you travel with Trailways you’ll be going for-the lowest
fare available, and if you can find a better deal, we’ll
refund the difference to you."
