Megabus Adds Austin-Houston Route

Megabus recently announced that it was adding services to the services it already had in Texas. according to a press release it has re-launched its Houston to Austin service, with stops along the way in Brenham, Giddings, Katy, La Grange and Prairie View. Customers can purchase tickets online or snag non-discounted "walkup" tickets from ticket agents at all stops except Houston. That means Austinits can ride get a comfortable ride upon a double-decker, WiFi- and restroom-equipped bus to Dallas, Houston, and San Antonio and leave the driving to someone else. What a great way for visitors to get an affordable ride to Austin (or Austin riders to see other parts of the state). Of course there is one question. What about handicapped accessibility? The buses comply with federal ADA laws after a settlement between Megabus and the Justice depart was reached in May of 2011. Under the terms of the settlement agreement, Megabus ensures that all of the vehicles in its intercity service are fully accessible to individuals with disabilities, including individuals who use wheelchairs or other mobility aids. Megabus' online reservation services allow passengers with disabilities to access schedule information and make reservations in the same manner and using the same reservation system as other passengers.
