She was my childhood best friend and, at my persuasion, she moved in with me in New York from Pittsburgh. For nearly a year, we conquered even the most harrowing parts of city life together. She was a painter. We shared a studio space. We collaborated to create events that combined both music and art. When my band went on tour for the entire summer, she came with us and helped with driving ...Click on a label to read posts from that part of the world.

Sep 22nd, 2009 at 1:00PM: Back in April we wrote about one-stop bus transport site BusJunction. Their service allows you to browse schedules of 14 different bus services, and purchase tickets on their site. Until now, you did not really have a good way of knowing just what kind of service you could expect. With some of the horror stories of bus fires and buses losing their wheels on the highway, it's reassuring to be able ...Fung Wah bus adds New York - Providence route to their network
Jun 9th, 2009 at 2:00PM: The Fung Wah Chinatown bus has long been a cheap and reliable way to get between New York and Boston, and as of June 15th, they will also operate a new route between New York Chinatown and downtown Providence, RI. The 3 hour ride will cost $40 each way, and there are only 2 departure times in the schedule; 7am and 9am for Providence to New York and 4:15pm and 6:15pm for the reverse ride. Despite ...Budget Travel: Hop on a bus
Feb 6th, 2009 at 11:30AM:
Depending upon the time frame you have to go from one point to the next, bus travel is a worthy option when looking for a bargain. Last summer, I opted for Greyhound as a way to get back from New York City to Columbus with my son. It was a perfect trip with few kinks. At the time, the bus fare was much cheaper than a flight, and I didn't want to drive myself.
A few years back, I made a similar ...How not to go to New York
Dec 26th, 2008 at 1:30PM: I'm sitting on a bus right now, on my way home to Manhattan. I just spent the last two nights in Reading, PA with my wife's family. What does this mean? I'm on a bus full of people who are making their annual trek to the "Big Apple." Right next to me is a family trying to agree on what to do. You can tell it's going to be a project from the stack of menus (Italian restaurants only) they have ...Megabus coaches to go double decker

Jun 17th, 2008 at 11:00AM: Competition for Chinatown bus service out in the Northeast remains high, with Boltbus, Greyhound and Megabus now elbowing their way into the market. As each carrier tries to outperform the other in costs and amenities, we've seen new services like wireless internet, video screens and power ports incorporated into the coaches. I took a Boltbus between Washington DC and New York earlier this year ...Boltbus tweaks onboard wifi, good and evil return to balance
Apr 21st, 2008 at 11:00AM: I had the pleasure of riding Boltbus last week, taking the time to ride the MARC all of the way from Baltimore to DC just for the chance to ride the bus back to New York. In my review, I pointed out that the service was nice, clean and on time, although I had issues with the encryption of their wireless network. Indeed, as of their frontpage last week they were having issues with Macintosh users ...
