Purely a personal pet peeve, but BoltBus also gets to be cheaper because they don't have to build or rent space in bus terminals.
Instead they stop and pick up on busy, narrow streets in Manhattan and their passengers frequently block the sidewalk to such an extent that it forces pedestrians into traffic.
Ditto all the other coach lines. At least the sketchy Chinatown bus lines have the decency to pick up on less busy streets in the Lower East Side, the BoltBuses have no reservations about gunking up the works during rush hour in Midtown.
- chaz 13y agoBoltBus to Boston was moved last month from its Penn Station location (at the request of NYC DOT & a community board) to 33rd St between 11th and 12th -- a dead block pretty far away from anything. They sent out an email two weeks ago asking for cust feedback on an "opportunity" to move to 1st Ave between 38th and 39th. They wanted feedback within a couple of days to tell the city, so the city obviously has some control/input, but I don't know the extent.
