Los Angeles Hub
Megabus began service in California on 12 December 2012, serving San Francisco, Oakland, San Jose, Sacramento, Reno, Riverside, and Los Angeles. Service runs on four routes (LA-San Jose-SF, LA-Oakland-SF, SF-Sacramento-Reno and LA-Riverside-Las Vegas). In Los Angeles, the buses utilize Union Station's Patsaouras Transit Plaza. In Las Vegas, buses will utilize RTC's South Strip Transfer Terminal in Enterprise, Nevada.
Previously, Megabus operated briefly from Los Angeles, opening for business on August 8, 2007 at Los Angeles Union Station, with services operated by unaffiliated Coach America under contract from facilities in Oxnard and Bakersfield. Initially services were offered to Phoenix, Tempe, San Diego, and San Francisco via either San Jose and Millbrae, or Oakland. However, with ridership not meeting expectations, service to Arizona was withdrawn after only five months, and by late March 2008, service to San Diego was also canceled. After June 8, 2008, only the Los Angeles-Oakland-San Francisco service remained. After June 22, 2008, Megabus service originating from Los Angeles ended altogether.

“When I was growing up I used to think that the best thing about coming from Des Moines was that it meant you didn’t come from anywhere else in Iowa. By Iowa standards, Des Moines is a mecca of cosmopolitanism, a dynamic hub of wealth and education, where people wear three-piece suits and dark socks, often simultaneously.”
—Bill Bryson (b. 1951)
