For all of you complaining about parking in New York etc. Here's a viable option for those travelling to the area next time:
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A58180-2002Nov30.html -- D.C. to New York for $10. Seriously. Thrifty Travelers Discover a Gem in Chinatown Bus Lines By Michael Barbaro Washington Post Staff Writer Sunday, December 1, 2002; Page A01 At 2:23 a.m., American University freshman Gene Fielden settles into a chair in the dank basement bus depot at 513 H St NW. He thinks he has found a way to kill time when the pow-pow-pow of a television movie erupts from a small set in the corner. Then the dialogue starts -- in Chinese. "Easy listening, huh?" he yells, pointing to the speaker above his head. Greyhound this is not. But for Fielden, and for many others who have found their way to Washington-New York Express Tours' bus stop in Chinatown, or to its competitor Dragon Expressway & Travel Inc. a block away, this late-night trip isn't about tidy terminals, frequent departures or reclining seats. It's about price. To be exact, $10 for a one-way ticket from Washington to New York. Round trip? $15 -- Next time we want to head up to New York, I may suggest it to Wendy. Then after I get out of the hospital we'll probably drive there again. larry At 12:01 PM 12/2/02 -0500, you wrote: >I am having lunch with my Mom and her husband today, he's a NYC bus >driver, I'll ask him if they can kick people off and et you know when I >get back :) > >Tim > >-----Original Message----- >From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] >Sent: Monday, December 02, 2002 11:55 AM >To: CF-Community >Subject: Re: When you are feed up with the bus driver... > > >sure it was bad taste but you know when you keep getting poked by the stick >over and over you eventually snap and just blurt out something to poke back. >Still pulling over and making them walk would have been better, hopefully >greyhound gives its drivers the authority to remove UNruly passengers. > >Man that would be the best part of the job :) > > >----- Original Message ----- >From: "Kevin Graeme" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >To: "CF-Community" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >Sent: Monday, December 02, 2002 11:47 AM >Subject: RE: When you are feed up with the bus driver... > > > > > 2.
