Megabus, branded on its vehicles as megabus.com, is a "no-frills" intercity bus service in the United Kingdom operated by Stagecoach Group.
Megabus advertises prices as starting at £1, with a 50p booking fee. Megabus follows the yield management model typically used by airlines where the lowest fares are offered to those who book early or on less popular journeys (normally, only one or two seats are sold at £1). Also mirroring the low cost airline model, Megabus services often call at out-of-town locations, avoiding the need to drive through congested city centres in order to maintain punctuality, with money also saved by servicing street stops at many points of call.
Tickets must be purchased in advance via the megabus.com website or by telephone. Upon purchase, passengers are given a reservation number which they show the driver when they board. It is not possible to buy a ticket on the bus except on a few Scottish services. Tickets can be paid for in pounds sterling or euros.
