> Amtrak is more comfortable in every way.

I can easily believe that trains are more spacious and the seating is more insulated from odors.

But my experience riding trains is that they sway/shake obnoxiously while going around curves. Where as busses like Megabus are a very smooth ride the entire way.

> room to walk around and stretch your legs

My experience with busses is that there are somewhat frequent stops where people are encouraged to walk and use the bathroom. Which isn't a complete fix, but it does serve to substantially mitigate those problems.




Funny, I get sick on buses easily but not at all on trains.
