Free megabus tickets
Budget coach travel provider Megabus is offering 50,000 ‘free’ one-way tickets on all of its routes in England, Scotland, Wales and Europe for travel between Tue 12 Jan and Fri 12 Feb. You’ll just need to pay a 50p booking fee per transaction, not per ticket.
Megabus says there are ‘free’ seats on all of its services, seven days a week. Tickets are released 60 days before travel (regardless if you’re booking or travelling on a weekend) and as the ‘free’ tickets on popular routes are likely to be snapped up within hours of release – you’ll have to be quick off the mark. There’s no maximum on how many tickets you can get per transaction.
How to find the free seats
While 50,000 sounds a lot, they can still take some finding as services will have a different number of ‘free’ seats available. Megabus says the tickets are released in tranches on its website every day, so if you can’t find a ‘free’ ticket one day, don’t give up, as one might appear later in the promo. Any available tickets will say £0.00.
If you can’t find any free seats, most routes start from £1, plus the 50p booking fee, but can cost a lot more depending on the route and when you’re booking.
Happy travels

How Much would I need to pay for return and one way tickets in total if I do this free deal? where Ideally would it take me?
