We're Busing Up To Boston (the official bus sharing thread)

miker525

Taking the bus up to PAX East is something that I do pretty much every year. I'm sure there are also others who do the same. Having taken the bus so many times, I know that it sort of sucks taking it x amount of hours without knowing anyone. Well now hopefully you'll be able to meet people who will be taking the same bus you are! It can be a nice way to introduce yourself, make new friends, and it'll probably make your bus ride seem faster then it is.

I'll begin by saying I am going to taking the Greyhound bus GLI 0204. I'll be getting on the bus at 7:20AM at Utica, NY on Thursday April 10th. It is the same bus as the 10:00AM from Albany, NY. I'll be taking the bus with one or two non-forum-going friends, but I'd be more than happy to meet anyone else taking the same bus!

Anyway hope you guys use this and enjoy meeting your fellow bus-takers!

i will be taking the bus from springfield MA to boston on the 10th.havent bought my tickets yet but if anyone else is taking the bus that day maybe ill just buy the same ticket as who ever else is.also i know grayhound makes stops in springfield on its way to boston so anyone from upsate new york heading to boston will likely stop at springfield for pickup.

edit:i guess from ny they stop at worcester rather then springfield.

If anyone can somehow get me a 3-day pass I will drive 2-3 people from springfield to boston depending on how much room I have in the car!

Yeah the bus I'm taking goes from Albany to Worcester and then onto Boston. You're definitely getting on at Springfield or are you possibly going to get on from Worcester?

I'm pretty surprised you're going up the tenth with only a Sunday pass. The only thing I can say is since you'll be there it's probably likely you'll be able to buy the Friday and Saturday passes from scalpers in the morning if you do decide to go. Just make sure you run them by enforcers inside to make sure they are legit
