So, unless you're planning on going to NY and not come back, chances are you'll still end up paying pretty close to regular price

this one is diff and new to canada they have been around in europe for some time now..... google it and u will get more info about them.

and this is only a one way ticket, even if u have to pay regular price for the return ticket, is still a good deal IMO.

The $1 deal sounds GREAT... but 50% on top of that just for "booking fees", THAT's a RIP-OFF!!

New York City by bus: $1

Low-cost coach company Megabus is betting low-income travellers will jump on its cheap seats

Low-cost airlines such as WestJet helped to pioneer the concept of a flying bus, but now some motor coach companies are fighting back with cheap seats of their own.

When Megabus pulls into Toronto on May 30, it will boast one-way fares to New York City for as little as $1 (plus a 50 cent booking fee) in a bid to whip up interest for the 10-hour road trip.

The pitch resembles those offered by discount airlines such as Europe's Ryanair. The airline regularly advertises ultra-cheap flights on its website, although analysts say average fares paid by passengers are generally more in line with industry norms particularly when all the extra fees and charges are taken into account.
