    Yeah, but a ferry ride over from NYC makes it basically NYC to me :) I know New Yorkers don't like to associate themselves with Jersey.

    Bunch of my good friends are from NYC so it'll be a good time.

    BTW, the link is http://www.boltbus.com I've read reviews online and they've been good so far. Much better than Chinatown buses, as it is run by Greyhound.

    doesn't look like they have late night trips. 5:30 PM is the latest I see. Or else I would've used it for yankee games.

    Yeah. They also are always in accidents. driving beside them on the Pike you can see why. They are never in their damn lane and most of the buses are older than sin.

    I got you beat. I was able to travel from Chicago to KC round trip for fifty cents when Megabus had their "WIN2008" promotion earlier this year. The $0.50 fee was a surcharge.

    is there other offers like this from chicago to the east coast??

    that bolt seems to only be between east coast cities... but id love to be able to make a east coast show if theres an affordable way

    still not sure how its possible financially??

    is the inside of the bus covered with advertisements??

    Unfortunately, the only bus service (that I know of) with a midwest-to-east coast route is Greyhound. Megabus will be soon expanding to Buffalo, but routes from there will only go north and east. You could take Megabus to Cleveland, Greyhound (or Amtrak) from Cleveland to Buffalo, Megabus from Buffalo to NYC, and then a Chinatown bus from NY to another East Coast city - and I guarantee you that the Cleveland-to-Buffalo leg on Greyhound would cost more than the rest of the trip combined!

    Or you could always fly and take a low-cost carrier from O'Hare to JFK, Newark or LaGuardia.
