Title: Help DH Travel!
Post by: Deadly Hamster on March 07, 2005, 01:16:45 PM: I\'m trying to get from New York to a university in Philadelphia.

The grey hound buses take 6-15 hours to get from here to there.

And they cost 70$.

I called grey hound and they told me it was because the Bus stops over and waits 5 hours for a transfer at New Rochelle.

Even if we go to New Rochelle first, the first bus doesn\'t arrive untill 1 pm and is a 6 hour trip.

Does anyone have any suggestions?

Make a mental note to not apply for being a contestant on The Amazing Race. ;)

If you\'re only 16 chances are it\'s not worth the trip.

Go to Chinatown in NYC, by the Manhattan Bridge, and find the buses that make multiple daily trips to Boston, Philly, and DC...

Much cheaper than Greyhound...

Post by: Deadly Hamster on March 08, 2005, 01:48:56 PM: Ashford, I\'m in Westchester.

Right now the plan is to head to NYC, find the greyhound bus that goes to Philly, a 25$ round trip....

Do you know the name of the buses that you are talking about?

Post by: Ashford on March 09, 2005, 10:14:57 AM: I know one company is named Fung Wah but I\'m not sure if there are multiple companies...

When in Chinatown, just get to East Broadway/Division St and the Manhattan Bridge/Market St. The East Broadway Mall is right there, under the bridge and all the buses and ticket booths are either on the perimeter of the mall or nearby.
