Bus from Boston <-> New York Chinatown

I am planning my Thanksgiving travel! :-) I heard that there are buses running betwenn Boston and New York Chinatown for $15. Is that true? How big is the bus? Is it minivan size? My dad is worried !

don't take the chinatown bus if you can...people will tell you that it is okay, but it's sketch and dirty...take the train or greyhound it for about the same price

Oh, come on, it's not that bad. It's only 4 hours anyway.

Limoliner is $76 one way, which is obviously quite a bit more than the Chinatown bus. But it is less than flying, about the same as the train, and you travel in luxury and comfort.

I took it in April.

I took the 7AM to Boston, and the 2:30AM to NYC.

They had 12 and 6 people respectively. I laid across four seats. (maybe I'm one of those sketchy people)

But overall it was very good for the price!!! No complaints

I took the bus last summer, and although it wasn't too comfortable (it was very hot since the bus was filled with people), it wasn't so bad. I went on the Fung Wah bus, and it was a normal sized bus. They played a lot of kung-fu movies. I think I only had to pay $10, so it was a good deal.
