She's scared of flying so if she visits she drives because bus trips like grey hound takes 24 hours and there is no Amtrak train in Nashville.

If it was feasible and there was a demand for it, then it would have already been built.

The CEO of this bus line is spot on in his analysis of air travel. Back when my Dad worked for the airlines (1980's) and we lived in Miami. My Dad had a running wager with his golf buddies. They'd call him when they left for the airport in Miami to fly to Orlando. My Dad would leave our house and drive to Orlando. The one who arrived first at the hotel got their dinner free that night. My Dad never paid for his dinner driving to Orlando, versus his buddies, who flew, ALWAYS arrived later than he did. Miami to Orlando is about a 4+ hour drive, depending on stops. Our family rule was always that if you could drive it in 8 hours or less, then you drove. Anything over 8 hours and you flew. Now, with the way the entire airline industry is in complete chaos, this bus company is innovating and coming up with a genius idea. I'd take this bus 10 times out of 10 if I was traveling between Nashville and DC. It makes perfect sense the way they've set it up to travel overnight. You lose zero time this way.

It will be even better when the high speed rail opens between Miami-Orlando next year. The United States doesn't really have a lot of "medium distance" travel options. You drive or fly everywhere. There's a middle ground of trip length which is perfect for trains/buses, but the problem is Greyhound is awful and Amtrak is not frequent enough and/or takes forever outside of specific routes. If you're traveling a route that would be a 2-6 hour drive, it's in the perfect zone for bus/train. It's a long enough trip to make driving a whole thing (you can just relax on a bus/train), but short enough that flying isn't worth it if there's an easier option. I grew up in the Pacific Northwest, and Seattle-Portland is a perfect example of "middle ground" travel. Traveling between Portland-Seattle by train is sometimes even faster than driving, depending on if you get stuck in traffic. And unlike the airports, train stations don't dump you in the middle of nowhere. The United States could really stand to beef up its train infrastructure a lot, and I hope companies like the one in this video can fill in the gaps for more remote trips that don't make sense to be covered by train, especially on the west coast where everything is so spread out.

@@PalmelaHanderson Those frequent specific routes are the only ones that Amtrack has a bare minimum chance of even breaking even on though due to population and proximity of distances. Even then once again by the time you get to 2 or 3 passengers a trip, the car once again becomes cheaper than a train for short to long distances per person, for long distances though the airline wins with at least budget lines to a lot of places (but you can expect less difficulties now with a car short of one rusting apart) however major airlines have jumped a bunch in price. I can't seem to find it but around 350 or 400 miles is where true HSR even starts to lose to air in terms of speed of travel (granted this depends on the airport, security, other requirements and airline) and certainly price. For comparison a trip from Osaka to Tokyo is 1.5 hours flight ($40-94 one way), 3hr15min Nozomi($110)

@@AcridWhistle There's also the fact to consider that aiprorts tend to be in the middle of nowhere. Take Tokyo, for example. Haneda Airport is over 20km from the city center, while Narita is about 70km away. Train stations tend to be in the middle of cities, so the odds are they tend to dump you a lot closer to where you want to go. Of course, Tokyo's a bad example because both of their airports are well connected to their rail network. In the US and Canada, a lot of airports aren't connected to a transit network at all, so you have to either rent a car or take a cab/uber to get where you need to go, which also adds to the cost/inconvenience. I find, anecdotally, that most people, all things considered, will prefer to take a train over flying even if it takes an hour or two longer. The conenience and ease factor is important.

Dealing with the madness of the airport such as arrive 2+ hours before your flight, then with boarding, taxing, then the landing and waiting for your bags, and THEN getting an Uber to your hotel, you can skip all of that if the drive is close enough. Don't forget, the 2 hour wait at the airport is just that: sitting around doing nothing, and getting no where.

I have seen "luxury" bus service from Dallas to Houston and from Norfolk, VA to Washington, D.C. (just to mention a few city pairings) that has an on board "attendant" who serves meals and beverages which are included in the price of the ticket. This service is great for business people who want to get to their destination in the morning and return in the evening without the hassle of dealing with an airport and airline. Hopefully, we'll see more companies offering this type of travel option. Thanks Jeb for this vlog. Take care and have a pleasant and rewarding weekend.

It's a variation on the sleeper train concept, which offers effectively near instantaneous travel; you go to sleep at one destination and wake up in another. With all the wasted waiting time that air travel entails this probably makes a lot of sense for journeys of a certain distance.

I wish we had those Japanese inexpensive but nice cruiseferries in the US! I've watched a lot of those videos. This bus video made me want to take a Japanese overnight ferry. I could probably sleep on the bus, but a little private room in a ferry along the coast would be much more comfortable. A real bed, and no noticeable turbulence. This bus isn't bad, and a bus can go anywhere there's a road, but if you're not used to it it won't be comfortable. Jeb did have his sleep interrupted. It still sounds better to me than spending the whole day flying and then paying for a night at a hotel.

India has the fourth largest rail network in the work. Inspite of that, due to the size of the country, a lot of small towns and cities are underserved by rail connections and/or have limited services. This makes bus travel more feasible, especially in rural areas. There are a lot of overnight sleeper buses that run on long routes, although most of them are very basic. Super luxury sleepers are few.

"All time is not created equal. Stressed time is not the same as relaxed time." BINGO. This is exactly what I tell people when they tell me Amtrak or bus is slower than flying, except I would add productive time to that because you can't work on a plane. Yes it takes more time but you lose less productive time which is very important to a remote worker like myself.

Hey Jeb, great video as always. I subscribed to your channel simply because of your character, but the fact you cover different modes of transportation in general is phenomenal. Napaway seems to be on something. It's innovative and it shows that the CEO really put some effort and sparred no expense when it comes to passenger comfort. Honestly, I wouldn't mind spending more time traveling on the ground in a concept like this rather than flying. Even the price seems more than reasonable considering the accessories. As time passes, hopefully Napaway will expend and create more routes. This is really well thought of concept and your video made it so much better. Thank you for sharing this.

You really should rethink how you score each experience, because your system will never be fair otherwise.
