We’re literally counting down the hours until we clock out today.

Not only because it’s Friday, but also because we’re looking forward to a weekend of St. Patrick’s Day debauchery!

There are tons of events going down right here in Los Angeles, but Phone Op Christen decided she wants to celebrate with friends in San Francisco.

We’re always looking for a good deal, so our jaws dropped when she explained she’s taking a bus there and back for only $12.50! Say what?!

She took some time to enlighten us about the game changer that is Megabus.

Megabus is a low-cost, express bus service that offers fares as low as $1 if you order online.

The luxury coaches include free wi-fi, at-seat plug in outlets, and panoramic windows.

From Los Angeles, Megabus offers trips to Las Vegas, San Francisco, San Jose, and Oakland.

Christen’s trip up to San Fran takes about seven hours because the bus makes two half hour stops where you can get out, stretch your legs, and pick up a snack.

With gas prices skyrocketing these days, it’s a no brainer! Check out the Megabus website to book your own trip!
