Greyhound and Peter Pan Bus $15 Hartford Fares

Greyhound and Peter Pan Bus have slashed prices from Hartford to Boston and New York. Usually, Hartford bus-goers had to pay more than their NYC or Boston bus-going counterparts. Now if you book online from Greyhound Web Only Fares Page or Peter Pan Bus E-Tickets you can just pay $15. This is nearly HALF off regular walk-up price. But I guess we get that "wonderful" personal touch from Greyhound and Peter Pan bus staffers.

While Greyhound/PeterPanBus is much slower bus for riders on the Boston-Hartford route (which usually stops in Worcester) - paying $15 and not having to wait on the street like a dog and fighting for survival might make this a better experience than the Megabus - which when it did the Hartford run - was an inconsistent route with buses arriving really late or leaving really early from schedule. Peter Pan claims to have free Wi-Fi internet connection too...Greyhound says they have Wi-Fi as well, but seemingly not on the Hartford route.
