Buses
Buses is a data page on the Travel desk of Glassbox Auditing. Long-distance bus tickets from FlixBus, Greyhound and Megabus, city buses live on a map in about twenty cities and regions, their operators' alerts and detours, and how bus fares are moving. Buses are the cheapest way between many cities and the way many workers get to their jobs, so fares and service cuts reach household budgets and commutes.

What does this page lead to?
- Prices & Inflation (Macro): Intercity bus fares and city transit fares are items in the consumer price index's public transportation group, so fare rises add to transport inflation. (moves the same way; the next monthly report; economy scale) Source: U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics.
- Trains (Travel): When bus fares rise on a corridor, some travellers switch to the train on the same route. (moves the same way; weeks; sector scale) Source: U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics.
- Household Finances (Macro): Bus and transit fares are part of household transport spending in the BEA accounts, so fare rises take more of the budgets of households that rely on them. (moves the same way; months; economy scale) Source: U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis (NIPA).
- Labor Market (Macro): Many workers without cars commute by city bus, so service cuts, strikes or long detours make jobs harder to reach in the cities affected. (either way, depending on the cause; months; economy scale) Source: U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics.
What feeds this page?
- Traffic Cameras (Global Intelligence): Closed or jammed roads seen on the cameras are the ones city and intercity buses run on, so they show up as the detours and delays on the Buses page. (moves the same way; same day; sector scale)
- Trains (Travel): Buses run the same corridors as trains for less, so higher train fares tend to send price-sensitive travellers to FlixBus, Greyhound and Megabus. (moves the same way; weeks; sector scale) Source: U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics.
