Getting to Boston from New York was pretty easy with the Fung Wah bus, one of a handful that depart from Manhattan’s Chinatown. Costing only $15 each way, we boarded a comfortable large bus each way. We had read about the smaller shuttle buses, the small, uncomfortable ones you’d imagine you might hire for a short trip or see frequently at airports and such and fortunately we didn’t get any of them in their fleet.

The ride itself was pretty smooth despite heavy snow falling on our way back. Total travel time was just over four hours to Boston but obviously subject to whatever traffic lies between the two cities.

With the measly price that they charge, it’s a bargain that makes you wonder why you might pay for anything else.
