A lady I work with has taken the Mega Bus to Chicago several times. Each time she returns with an adventure story to tell. They don't always pick up at the RPTC. Once they told her the wrong corner where the bus was to pick up. She waited with her family wondering where it was when they saw it go past them full of passengers. Another time, she had the overbooked experience, but got into a shoving match with another passenger to get her & her family seated. [[I guess it's like general admission seating.) A third time, the bus broke down on the way back from Chicago. They were stranded for something like 6 hours waiting for another bus to rescue them. Their rates are cheap, but then again, you get what you pay for.
