Elizabeth, NJ (PRWEB) August 10, 2015 -- Megabus.com – the popular city-to-city, express bus company announced a plan to name one of their buses after each state in which they operate.

The bus names will be selected entirely by customer and resident votes in order to choose the monitor that best represents each state. All of the bus names on the ballot were chosen because they are heavily associated with New York and New Jersey, or commemorate a piece of the history of the states.

“We value our customers’ opinions and are excited to see the name they select to represent their state,” said Dale Moser, CEO of megabus.com. “This is our way of honoring the customers of each of the states that have helped our business to grow.”

Voting is now open to residents of New York and the ballot includes the following options:
• The Big Apple
• The Empire State
• Henry Hudson
• Niagara Falls

Voting is also now open to residents of New Jersey and the ballot includes the following options:
• The Garden State
• The Jersey Shore
• Thomas Edison

Customers and residents can visit http://us.megabus.com/namethebus.aspx to vote online for their favorite bus name on or before August 17. Winning bus names will be announced via Megabus.com’s social media channels.
