I'm going to call them "Fung Wah" handles from now on

I've always wondered about the Fung Wah bus that runs between Boston and NYC's Chinatowns for $15. (It used to be $10.) derspatchel tells me everything I need to know, I do believe.

NYC chinatown smells like fish. or squid. for me, internets fares on greyhound.com are comparable for round trip, and look ma, no smell.

Uh I have a differing opinion from this dude. He's going on all the stereotypes and ignoring the fact that the buses are more comfortable (i.e. more legroom) then the traditional buslines are are also cleaner, at least in my experience. I took it during college quite a few times, and unless things have changed drastically, it was the best way to travel to new york that didn't include Amanda's car driving me. As a poor person, I love the chinatown bus. Also, they totally ignore speedlimits, so I've made it to New York in like 3 hours...:-D

I kinda don't think being on a bus driven by a half-asleep driver that was drifting all over the highway really counts as an opinion per se. But YMMV (ha ha).

haha I evidently didn't read that far. All my drivers were quite awake...

i too have only had good experiences on the fung wah.. though my trip usually was 3.5 to 4 hours, not 3.

greyhound on the other hand was the bane of my existence and led to a 8 hour trip the only time i took it.. i hate them so.

Turner was just telling me that Concord Trailways is the way to go. They have free snacks, apparently?! Dude hook me up

Concord Trailways goes from Boston to Maine and New Hampshire, not to New York.
