Best-Kept Secret Every New Yorker Knows About: Fung Wah Bus To Boston

I’ve been to Boston twice: Once recently for work where I spent nearly the whole time at the Boston Convention and Exhibition Center, and once years ago for a long and silly St. Pat’s weekend where I got lost on the subway and wound up being adopted by a gang of co-eds at BU for three hazy days filled with pot smoking and beer in their apartment. As a result, I can’t really praise or trash the city, because I just don’t know it or its people at all.

However, should I ever feel the desire to familiarize myself with the city and her folk, I know how to get there on the very cheap: the Fung Wah bus lines.

Fung Wah (Canton for “”Magnificent Wind”), has been serving the Boston-NYC commuter for eight years strong. It’s shockingly cheap – fifteen dollars each way, and bookable up to a month in advance. While with every passing year its popularity has grown, its market has not; they still only have one route. Soon, however, they will be expanding their service to include a NYC-Providence route. When they do, the cost will doubtlessly be as good a deal.

Whatever you do, however, try to sit as far away from the bathrooms as possible; the GoNomad.com article linked below will explain why.
