Van Galder is also known as coach USA. It is the most convenient way to get from Madison to Chicago O'hare or downtown without driving!\n\nI would say tickets are not cheap. If you're looking for deals, head over to mega bus and watch for sales. Till further notice, the pick up and drop off at UW campus has moved to university avenue at Chazen. The tickets however, are still sold at the Memorial Union if you would like to purchase student priced tickets. Do remember to bring your student ID for verification and you can only buy one ticket per day at the MU. \n\nIf you're not a student, you can buy tickets online and print them, or buy them on board with cash. Sometimes, on the double decker bus you can get plugs to charge your gadgets! But I couldn't get the ones on the roof to work... \n\nAll in all, van galder is a convenient way to get to the cheaper flight fares in ORD. The only 2 bad experiences were a 1.5h delay to reach downtown Chicago as the bus was late to Madison and a very unfriendly uncle who wanted to drive off with my friend's luggage while she went to the bathroom :/
