Which is better...the Peter Pan Bus or Fung Wah Bus from Boston to New York City? |
Travel Info My friends and I are staying in Boston for a week and want to make a day trip to NYC, because we've never been. Two bus companies have many scheduled trips and I wanted to know which one was better. There is a difference in cost (Peter Pan: $100 round-trip, Fung Wah: $30 round trip) We'll pay either price, just want the better bus. THANKS! Travel Tips Ok, please listen to me. I had the horrible experience of traveling on a Fung Wah bus to NY. Horrible is almost too nice of a word. The bus did not have working air conditioning, and in July, it was unbearable. The bus continued to overheat, so we had to stop every 30 minutes to let the engine cool down, right on the side of the highway. Since that delayed us considerably, our driver decided to make up time by speeding in NY city at dangerous speeds. We were VERY concerned about our safety. When we arrived there was a mob, which was the people waiting to get onto the bus, no orderly line at all, just people pushing and shoving to get on the bus, because it is oversold. One woman commented how she was getting on the same broken bus she took there 3 days prior! I ended up taking the train back, same time, much safer and more room. Right after this, the same bus caught on fire and drove for a long time ON FIRE because the driver could not understand the passengers telling him the bus was on fire. Then a little later a bus overturned on an offramp because he was speeding (trying to make up for lost time again???). Seriously, pay the extra money, take Peter Pan or the train. Your safety depends on it. Source(s): Personal ride from hell. Other Travel Tips I hear raves about the Fung-wah, mainly for the price. But they're a little less predictable. I'm pretty sure you can come down on the price with Peter Pan, since Fung-wah's emerged they've been the major competitor. I'm certain PP has comperable prices if you travel at a certain time of day. the fung wah bus from boston to tokyo Peter Pan. Better maintained and more reliable. Fung Wah Are you sure the Peter Pan bus is $100???? Last time I checked in the Boston Metro, the price was around $15-20 a trip. Check it again or call and verify. If it still that high, then just take the Fung-Wah bus...go in the morning (7 am) when it's not crowded and still clean). |
