What is the different between Megabus and Gray Line?

There are some people that might not know the different between Megabus and Gray Line.  There are 2 obvious differences in the nature of the service and the purpose.  The first thing is megabus is only serving people who are on business trip, works, and traveling from state to another and this is not for sightseeing purposes.  While Gray Line Tour is very much focus on leisure and sightseeing purposes for foreigners and travelers who wants to see all of the sides of New York.  The other different is the transportation, Megabus will only stop at the bus terminal and mega bus bus stop once the passengers have reach their destinations, but Gray Line will stop at Hop on and Hop off point for the visitors at the tourist attractions.
