Wouldn't option A be the most inconsistent logically?

Option A is for an airline and that's a different mode of transportation. It is still transportation but not apples to apples. GMAT is pretty good about being consistent.
The part that matters is that it is a bus, and it has to be 1 penny cheaper (it does not count if it is same price or the other direction). It has to be the same route by a bus company that is cheaper. That's the condition you are looking for.

P.S. This is an interesting question. I have never seen one quite worded this way. Fun one but not sure about the wording.

@Bunuel Could you please explain how answer here is 'E' as the idea is to compare the Transportation fare on the route between Washington & New York. Only option that doesn't meet this criteria is option 'C' which talks about NewYork & Boston.
So why is that not the answer
