    MOST IMPORTANT ALWAYS sleep with your feet towards the front of the bus. If the bus slams on the brakes, your legs will cushion the impact.

    It reminds me of the night buses I used to catch in the 1980s between London (where I lived) and Paris (where my dad lived). Flying at the time was expensive, and inconvenient because of the airport transfers involved, so I always took the budget option of the bus (which used to cost about US$15) and the bus took roughly 9-10 hours.
    If you were lucky, the bus was empty and you could make a bed on the rearmost seats or even on the floor and get a reasonable amount of sleep. I don't think my 56-year-old bones could take it these days, and I'm carrying some extra lumber.
    I do like the idea of sleeper buses. With earplugs and a soft enough mattress, it would be like rocked to sleep.

    I once took an overnight sleeper bus from Edinburgh UK to London UK which is about 400 miles (644 km). That ride was ridiculously cheap, I think I paid less than 10 GBP (13 USD, 11 EUR) for a ticket bought a few weeks in advance. Unfortunately, as this service wasn't really popular (train or flight are obviously much faster) they cancelled this sleeper service. There are, however, many sleeper trains which are pretty popular across Europe.

      Somebody ran the numbers a few years ago for a high speed Orlando to Atlanta line, and even that was a money loser- big time, actually. The other problem is that in the USA the construction costs per mile are like 7 times what they are in London, which is in itself very costly. The NYTimes did an article about this. We are no longer capable of building anything at a reasonable cost in the USA. www.nytimes.com/2017/12/28/nyregion/new-york-subway-construction-costs.html

    Airconditioned sleeper buses like these are popular across India atleast since 2010. Volvo and Scania are the most popular bus manufacturers here. So famous that overnight, multiaxle buses are colloquially called as 'Volvo buses' the same way photocopiers are called as Xerox. They are perfect for a 400-600km overnight journey. You can sleep well and need not spend on hotels. For distances above 500km or 12 hours, people start preferring sleeper trains or domestic flights to buses.

    Those beds remind me of the racks they had in the Navy. I remember hearing guys scream in the middle of the night thinking they were in a coffin. Now I have to deal with my infant screaming in the middle of the night. It's giving me PTSD.

      That's how Cliff Burton died. Ironically, Cliff's bus bunk was formerly occupied by Kirk Hammett until that fateful night. The four members of Metallica drew cards in order to determine the choice for Kirk's bunk, high card being the winner. Cliff drew the Ace Of Spades.

    A flight from La to San Fran takes about a hour and a half, so if you don't have much luggage I would recommend the flight and take a cat nap. I think the night bus is a great idea and have taken quite a few train rides overnight to get where I wanted to be.
