Until then, travel via road and air are our only options. Some day I hope to ride the planned California High-Speed Rail bullet trains that will travel from Los Angeles to San Francisco in only 2.5 hours, but as with any large infrastructure project in the US, it’s moving ahead slowly while fighting off a lot of well-organized and well-funded opposition. With discount airfares being (rarely) as low as $59 each way but always under $99 each way, it’s never seemed worth it to take such a long trip. I’d looked at Greyhound fares before, but the buses usually take 8 or more hours, stopping several points in between the start and end point. I never really considered taking a bus to Los Angeles. For a review of Boltbus, check out this post. Update: Boltbus recently started running buses on this same route. East Coast and Canada for several years now, has started service on new double decker buses between some of California and Nevada’s most populous cities: San Francisco, Oakland, San Jose, Sacramento, Riverside, Los Angeles, and Las Vegas. Megabus, the discount bus carrier that has served the U.S.

If you’ve been following us on Facebook, you might have seen me mention that there’s a new way to get from Los Angeles to San Francisco.
