Which is higher scale? I know buses in general are not high scale so you don't have to tell me. Though in the US which one would be the best and safest ? Thanks.

I know never travel on a overnight bus.

Oh yeah this not for anything current yet it will be for a short trip only.

All I know is Flixbus has a cool feature to pay a little extra to get a reserved seat and no one seating by you. Not sure if it is guaranteed though.
 
I didn't know Flixbus was operating in the US, they do in Europe. They don't have a great reputation here though. Megabus I have never heard of and Greyhound of course I know, though they do not operate here in Europe.
 
I hope someone from the US can answer, I would think Greyhound would be ok but wait for someone else. The reason I said Flixbus does not have a good reputation is some news reports here of passenger complaints about drivers leaving without them when there was a scheduled stop, and others being inattentive looking at their phones and chatting while driving.
 
Once I took a Greyhound once and it was ok at best! It was only half full but most people wore headphones so use some over ear headphones to drown out the bus sounds on highways!

From where to where ?
 
You don't want to just rent a car? My one greyhound experience turned a 2 hour driving trip into an 11 hour ordeal ...

Interesting Factoid: Greyhound are currently owned by the UK company FirstGroup plc (although yesterday they announced they're looking at divesting themselves of it, and the FirstStudent school bus service over here).
