I have recently used the Megabus to travel from Chicago to Cleveland
First of all, the Megabus stop is at the open air
Meaning you will wait under any weather condition for the bus which was the case for me
I had to wait for the bus at 11:30 am at Chicago at a degree of -16 which was freezing cold until the bus came
They don't have a covered/closed bus stop where you can comfortably wait
The other point is about the luggage allowance
Although I had one bag which was almost the size and weight allowed, they assisted that the bad was too large/ heavy and asked for a $10 more
The bag was allowed on a plan previously with the same luggage allowance so I know it is good
Some of my friends were turned off and not allowed to ride with an excuse of having heavy bags
On the other hand, the bus was warm, calm, had Wifi and there were alot of empty places where you can sit comfortably without any problem
The driver was good and the trip was safe
It was not a bad trip over all and it would be very good if you were prepared
Good luck
