    I was hoping to draw attention to the title's bad pun, but I guess I've groan too subtle.
    I have done a 16 hour bus ride (with vertical seating) and a 14 hour sleeper train in Thailand. The sleeper was a pleasant improvement. If this bus offers similar facilities I would enjoy it, too.

    I see. What if Pullman had designed a bus instead of a passenger rail car?

    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.

    Not as punishing as the seated upright all night bus ride I still recall enduring way back during the late Sixties.
    Still, knowing my luck, I'd bunk across the aisle from someone on a bean diet.

    never thought of autonomous drone flights for terror suspects. Not a bad idea.

    Absolutely a good idea. I fly only when I have to, and am traveling more than about 400 miles.

    Drone pilot flights for Muslims only just popped into wicked old dino's predatory mind.
    No, no, I'm not going to deliberately blow them up or fly them into a mountain.
    Nothing goes boom unless someone tries to take over a display of make-believe controls.
    An inflatable pilot like the one in the Airplane movie may be a good added touch.

    Since all the terrorists seem to be muslims, if I had an airline I would consider just offering muslim-free flights as a cost saving measure. At least until muslims disavow that part of their "bible" about killing the infidels.

    TSA is stupid actually. It doesnt work, and it costs a lot in wasted time and money.

    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.

    The (un)intended consequences of jack-booted federal intervention. American Airlines (et al) collapsed. Thanks neo-con-men.

    As long as you recognize the inherent limitations, it's a great way to travel and to make the journey as important as the destination.

    We reduced our flying several years ago. We don't travel abroad much now either due to all the hassle.

    Yep. Now that I have a family I am constantly considering buying a little class-c motorhome simply to help avoid the BS of putting my kids in an xray machine with their hands up in the surrender pose. Notice that pose? Haha...oh, I mean "bah...bah!"

    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.)

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