From Taking a green initiative
by Robert Manor
Chicago Tribune, 12/4/2007

Megabus.com, the discount bus company with its hub in Chicago, said Monday that it will give away 100,000 trips in 2008, describing the promotion as a way for travelers to reduce their carbon footprint.

"Environmentally, it goes without saying that if we can get people out of their cars, we are saving carbon dioxide from going into the environment," said Dale Moser, president of Megabus.com. The company estimates the free rides will cut carbon dioxide emissions by 6.9 million pounds for every 100 miles traveled.
