SleepBus reports on its website that it’s planning to add 10 more vehicles to its fleet and hopes to have additional capacity available by mid-August. But in the meantime, they can’t take anymore reservations for the $48 six-hour, sleep-filled ride from L.A. to San Francisco, or vice-versa.
“We launched SleepBus with a prototype bus in late April and the response from all of you has been incredible,” a SleepBus representative writes on their website.
A SleepBus ride, whether getting underway in either L.A. or San Francisco, starts at 11 p.m. and ends the next morning at 6 a.m. in either one of the aforementioned cities. Passengers wishing to exercise the sleep-in option can get an additional three hours of bedtime and leave the truck by 9 a.m.
Amenities on the SleepBus include a privacy screen for each bed, personal power outlets, reading light, WiFi, fresh luxury sheets, coffee, tea, seating areas and a restroom. Tables are available for those that have work that just can’t wait.
A SleepBus attendant is on board to help you get through the trip. Given normal traffic and weather conditions, the average ride lasts 6 to 6-1/2 hours.
