The only long haul bus shops that I have ever seen are where you assess the station and ticket sales but then mail in the unused ticket for reimbursement. Amtrak is shopped but by a very small cadre of very experienced shoppers who do ALL of the shops. Some subway and local bus systems do a round of shops, quite infrequently, from what I have been able to gather. Actual flights on airlines are very few and far between.

Poor customer service? Don't get mad; get video.

There are city bus shops in San Francisco. You have to get on at a certain station, take it to a particular station, then get on the return bus. They give you the times that you have to ride. Not sure if they have similar shops in other cities...

I have seen shops similar to the ones CaliGirl mentioned. I'm also fairly certain I saw Atlanta MARTA shops once when I was taking a trip there but can't remember the MSC. I know one of the bus lines is shopped (not Greyhound, although they may be also), and the same company has some airline shops but I believe those are only partial reimbursement. I also know of a company that shops a particular state's toll roads as well.

Megabus is also shopped, at least in the Midwest

I think that may be the one I was thinking about.

On the West coast too

I have been waiting for over 2 months to be approved for train shops, I think there may be many shoppers interested in these types of shops. Mine was for Amtrak - still no approval.

There is a very small group approved to do all of the Amtrak shops. As far as I know the latest additions were made to the group about 6 weeks ago. So they may not be adding any more anytime soon unless someone moves too far away from one of the "hub" stations.
