Reading between the lines it looks like they didn't take the bus because they care about climate change or the bohemian lifestyle, they took it because finances were tight.
Sure getting rich and leaving elsewhere yourself is one way to do things, but so is getting together and making them leave. The second one is actually more sustainable, because eventually you'll run out of elsewheres.
Either that or they wanted the trip to take longer. If it's not just journalistic flair and they were using it to distance themselves and start over, a long bus ride vs. a few hours in a plane would be a good fit.
Or it would have been if the bus experience was that of the 1950s.
