The recent, and ongoing effort by Richmond’s airport authority to cow residents into flying on the discount carriers who serve the city, or risk losing them, may have hit an unforeseen snag: the arrival of an ultra-low cost bus service.

According to the Richmond Times-Dispatch, Megabus will have seven daily departures from Main Street Station with direct routes to DC, Charlotte, Baltimore, Philadelphia and elsewhere.  And the teaser fares start at just $1. And there’s WiFi and electric power outlets for your gadgets onboard, too.
