NOTES: Intercity bus operations are akin to a re-occuring flight in air travel and may include service between several cities (e.g., New York- Washington, DC). The Intercity Bus Database excludes Chinatown operators, numerous Hispanic operators, casino routes, and airport shuttle operations. Discount city-to-city bus consists of express-oriented carriers operating from downtown districts, for example, Megabus and BoltBus.
