My gf and I are planning on taking mega bus from NYC to Atlantic City in the near future. According to the mega bus website, it states that those trips are offered by Academy Bus Lines. I am confused because the mega bus does NOT offer tickets and just gives you a confirmation number to present to the driver. However, Academy Bus Lines seem to use a ticket-based system according to their website AND their AC fares are much higher. My question is are these trips really taken on Academy Bus and are their drivers aware of mega bus's paperless ticket routine? Anyone who has gone to Atlantic City via mega bus, please let me know how the ticket process works in detail. Thank you very much!
