Megabus, the no-frills intercity bus company with an intriguing pricing scheme starting at $1, has revised their service schedule between Milwaukee and Chicago. Unfortunately two trips have been eliminated in each direction. One can only assume it's because of the economy and that January through March has always been a down travel period for Megabus (something they compensate for by giving away 100,000 tickets).
