    Their base is not cross country trips. Its people without reliable transportation going to cities 3-8 hours away from their homes

      So I took a look at Sacramento to LA and it’s more like $80 vs $200, so not quite as bad as cross country. It’s still pretty fucked that there’s a significant population that can’t afford $120 to save about 34 hours of travel time.

        it used to be less; I think it was like 90 bucks to go from Georgia to Arizona at one point

        edit: you also don’t have to pay for checked bags, when you’re broke, you’re used to accepting a lot more inconvenience to save 50 bucks or more. source: have lived the life
