How can they do that and stay above water. Gas at where it is they are losing money on every trip.

Adding them to our links Dir.

Hey that's even better than the Fung Wah bus to Chinatown -- Spence when are you coming to visit? You should come to BF's wine tasting!

Anyone done it?

Would love to hear experiences from anyone that has used it.

How do you set your fares?

Our goal is to offer our customers as inexpensive a ticket as possible and still make an operating profit. Our fares will start @ $1 (plus a transaction or booking fee), with a minimum of one $1 fare available on every schedule we operate every day. The fares we charge will vary by day of week, overall passenger demand and how many days until the travel will take place. Typically someone who purchases a week or two out will receive the cheapest fares so it will save you money to plan ahead. Even our higher walkup fares will be reasonable and will allow for inexpensive spur of the moment travel.

Anyone use this? I wonder how much the fare is on the day of travel. So I checked for tomorrow and everything is sold out except for 2 mid-day trips. Both have $1 fares available! Amazing!

Also: Coming Soon! New York City - Boston service! stay tuned...

For those who have to go NYC-Boston, there's also LimoLiner, which isn't cheap but looks pretty darned civilized.

LimoLiner - Quality Travel Time Between New York and Boston. Compare to Amtrak Acela and shuttle flights.

Thanks, will do. Not sure when, at the moment, but I love to be able to get there before the Cherry Blossoms are gone. I think I may only have another few weeks.

My wife's colleague going this weekend. $10 round trip for a family of 5.

Many of the $1 deal are gone for the next few months with boltbus but there is another new busline megabus.com starting at the end of May. Stops in Union Station and Penn Station. $1 seat still available. The site is very busy and may need several tries to get in.
