SleepBus serves, the startup could be competitive as more than a bus. An overnight ride at $48 is cheaper than most bargain-rate hotel rooms and certainly less expensive than your standard Airbnb in a major city. The bus has no shower, so it's not really fair to compare it to a living space, but would anyone familiar with rent prices in San Francisco and Los Angeles be shocked to learn of someone buying a month's worth of tickets to live on the vehicle and bathing at the nearest YMCA?"
