Buses from New York to Boston
The entries on this blog that deal with the well rutted road from New York to Boston seem to be getting the most attention, usually accessed by the knowledgeable but impecunious types curious about Fung Wha. Here is some advice: if you purchase your tickets online from greyhound through their e saver section you can pick up a ticket for $20 one way. Yes, this is $5 more than the Chinatown bus, but you pull into midtown, as opposed to Chinatown, and these buses adhere to higher safety standards. These are just a few points to consider in the decision making process. The fact is, if your bus catches on fire, has a flat, falls apart, spontaneously combusts or is involved in an accident, you will get to spend a lot less time in the city, assuming you arrive unscathed. The extra $5 might just be money well spent if you can commit to a definite departure time.
Of course, that $5 could also be used to purchase some tasty egg tarts or some choice goodies from Tong-in mart for the ride…
