Misery

I've been out of town the past few days. Hurrah. Now I'm back. Boo.

I usually insist on traveling by bus. Unfortunately, both bus companies I use, Greyhound and Vamoose, have trapped me inside of buses with no air conditioning. This is unacceptable. With no way to open a window, those buses get like ovens. Demands for a refund were rebuffed and now I have to call customer service. Great. Thanks, Greyhound!

I guess I have to start insisting on the MARC.

    Dude, DC2NY bus or boltbus.com.

    Vamoose is usually pretty good and those Hasidics run a tight ship most of the time.

    greyhound's website and phone messages both have the wrong (outdated by well over a year) stop in my town in nh. got dropped off where it told me to once and was completely screwed.

    use peter pan bus lines next time...much better service and they show so-bad-it's-good comedies from the 90's on VHS.

    I took the DC2NY bus one time. You know, it was really not that bad. It was four hours from DC to Grand Central, and they showed a film. I, of course, prefer Amtrak but the bus is a reasonable, more economical alternative. Anything is better than flying DC to NYC. Tip: if you take bus don't go during AM or PM rush hours as you trip time will be greatly lengthened.

    I've traveled with Vamoose many times in the past and I never had any issues with their service.
