		We were stranded on the side of the expressway for two hours, baking in 90-degree weather, with no air conditioning.

	Megabus - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Megabus is a "no-frills" intercity bus service run by Stagecoach in the United Kingdom and United States.
		Megabus follows the yield management model typically used by low-cost airlines where the lowest fares are offered to those who book early or on less popular journeys.
		On 14 November 2005, the Megabus concept was extended to rail services, with the introduction of Megatrain between London and Southampton, and London and Portsmouth, using a dedicated carriage on selected South West Trains services.

		By and large, my fate is in the hands of National Express, that countrywide institution whose reach is proved by a couple of jaw-dropping statistics: should you want to join the five million people who annually use its services, you can choose from around 1,200 possible stops.
		First, though, I place myself in the care of Megabus, the frills-free operation launched by the Scots transport conglomerate Stagecoach in 2003, currently positioned as the irreverent, brazenly cheap easyJet to National Express's British Airways.
		Those of us going to the north-east, meanwhile, are directed on to what appears to be a resprayed London double decker, which rattles through the last three hours of the journey at a steady 55 mph.
