[edit] From IvyMedia.com to GotoBus.com

IvyMedia Corporation is known as the leading company on the Internet to offer a centralized booking tool that allows bus travelers to search and compare different inter-city shuttle bus companies. GotoBus sells bus tickets for many traditional bus companies as well as regional independent carriers, and so-called Chinatown bus lines. The company first started selling bus tickets in 2002 from the website IvyMedia.com. They switched to the GotoBus.com domain at the end of 2005 in order to better represent the nature of the business.

[edit] Best of the Web

GotoBus became the first potential competitor for Greyhound Lines, which has almost a monopoly position for the US/Canada shuttle bus business. GotoBus has networked most small bus operators such as the Chinatown buses to provide comprehensive transportation coverage of major US cities while rapidly expanding into Canada and Mexico. This competition has greatly benefited consumers in getting competitive bus fares. GotoBus offers limited $1 bus tickets on selected bus routes.

In February 2007, The Washington Post names GotoBus.com Best of the Web in the 'Motorcoaches' category, topping grayline.com, greyhound.com and trailways.com.
