 BoltBus sells the $1 tickets at random within the first few seats sold.The $1 fare is the basis for its slogan "Bolt for a Buck".Since buses do not operate out of traditional stations with ticket windows, passengers are encouraged to purchase tickets either online or on the phone before heading to the bus stop, but drivers will also accept cash from "walk-up" passengers, if space is available (walk-up tickets typically cost 30% more than online fares).
