The hub for this new Megabus service will be Los Angeles, California, Union Station.  Near this bus stop is Hollywood and Disneyland.

The San Francisco destination is the Caltrain - 4th St Station - Arrivals and departures are located at the bus shelter in front of the San Francisco Caltrain station on 4th Street between Townsend Street and King Street.

If you book forty five days in advance, then you might get lucky and get one of Megabus's famous one dollar fares plus a fifty cent booking fee. Fares go up as you book closer to the departure date. You could get a five dollar ticket a week before departure if plenty of open seats are available. Like the no frills airlines, Megabus uses the internet to book your tickets, bypassing local travel agents and costly local customer service. If you have questions, you fill out a form on the internet or call them.
