Replacement for the Regionals?
Might be more efficient than flying a 50 seater to carry 5 people on some EAS routes. Not sure logistically how it would allow pax to bypass security though.

Interesting idea, although I would imagine most customers buying an airline ticket would like to get to their destination quickly, hence the reason they bought a plane ticket in the first place, not a greyhound ticket. Imagine spending hundreds of dollars to find out you have to get shipped on a five hour bus ride to ORD before your flight even departs. On the other hand, maybe people living in EAS towns are used to long drive commutes to get to major cities anyways.

This is a great idea in some areas…..There we’re times I’d spend an hour in line to takeoff for a 15minute ORD-MKE flight.

I'd agree if they can do TSA at the bus depot, that's part of the draw of commuter flights. |
United has some routes that you buy as part of a plane ticket but you get on a bus that picks you up from a gate. I'm not sure of the exact specifics but I believe EWR-ABE and Denver to Breckenridge does something similar. Apparently they can bring you back to the hub but you still go through security.

I’d connect through someone else’s hub that was two planes instead of one plane and one bus to a pace where the hotels might pick up at.

Can't see that happening. I mean, how would TSA make sure the bus didnt make any stops along the way... including at stop signs and traffic lights.
