We are well used to rail replacement buses in Great Britain.

They do things a bit differently in the USA. YouTube travel vlogger Noel Philips takes every American Airlines bus service one after the other.

Watched this last night, most interesting. I’d heard about it but didn’t pay much attention to planes being replaced by buses.

It was mentioned during the video that doing short flights with buses instead of planes is going to increase with other airlines starting down this route as well as AA.
