    Where there is a need, there will be an entrepreneur to fill it. It looks like a better idea than trying to get comfortable in a slightly reclining bouncer designed for someone under the height of five feet two. Not my cup of tea, however. Like many fellow semi-insomniacs conditions must be just-so in order for me to fall asleep and even more so in order to stay asleep. The only advantage might be the ability to stretch out while reading a book. Actually, in a sense, this is the inevitable extension of new ideas such as Uber. As transportation becomes more problematic, I expect to see more inventive ideas in this area.

    I think this is a great business idea. I'd gladly travel this way.

      I agree, Abaco. Its like a sleeper car on a train, which can be a great experience (as long as you can spare the time.) Having access to the net during the trip could make it reasonably productive (or entertaining after dark if you don't care to socialize.)

        Are there any trains that go somewhat directly without massive diversions or using a bus as part of their segments? My last try with that was Portland to Los Angeles. The first thing i heard was 'did iyou reserve for supper?" "The ticket says meals included," "But did you reservce a seat?" "I just boarded." "All the spaces are reserved." One cardboard sandwich later I left trains forever. We had to switch to a bus anyway."

        I sorely missed the train systems of Europe.

        The people of the US deserve the second class travel system they paid for no matter if the bill was first class prices.

    Not a bad idea actually. I dont like flying and avoid it if I can.

    Between the airport delays, the TSA, and the hassle of screaming children and crowded planes and small seats, I am DONE with flying.

    I would investigate this approach. I also note that there is Megabus, which does much better and cheaper service than Greyhound. This sounds like a step up even from Megabus.

    ffa, we just got back from a 10,000-mile trip, the BW
    and I, and we're tired. . drove to hotlanta, flew to
    honolulu, boated to vancouver, flew to lax, then to
    hotlanta, and drove home. . it was wonderful, but a
    tad bit tiring. . sleeping on a bus would definitely
    have been easier! -- j

      Sounds like a great time, john. Let me know next time you plan to be in Atlanta and have some time. We are about 35 miles east. My girl friend has friends at the Knoxville chapter of Daughters of the Confederacy. She published a book of her ancestor's diary written in union occupied Knoxville.
