Megabus Boston Bus Stop Change - Back Bay

Megabus is moving it's operations from South Station to Back Bay Station - change is effective Wed. May 13th, 2009.

Go here on Megabus.com for more information. The map is on the bottom of that page.

Is Mega having trouble making a profit in Boston? What would spark the change in location. This can't be an ideal move to compete with Fung Wah, Lucky Star, Bolt, and Greyhound.

UPDATE: Megabus has removed the Back Bay Station advisory...but just go to any mapping program and search Back Bay Station in Boston, MA. The bus pickup/drop off is located in the "back" of the station, where the city buses go. If you're coming out of the subway at Back Bay Station, the Bus Stop will be behind you as you go up the escalators.

UPDATE 2: This is a popular landing page from Google on Hartford stop searches. Here is the map of the pickup spot in Hartford. Please note, Megabus Hartford service is stopping Sept. 14, 2009. Go to the Hartford Bus homepage for more details.

Swine Flu Masks for Bus

Are you avoiding the bus? Will Swine Flu restrict your travel? Will swine flu healthcare be something you want? Will you buy car and car insurance to avoid swine flu? Will buying a car really save you from swine flu? Can you get swine flu insurance on top of your car insurance? Are you wondering why this whole post is all questions? Joe Biden has your answers. (FYI the end of this movie is sort of racist. I did not make it.)

2009 Best Bus to Hartford Award...

The award goes to...Megabus! Despite being dropped off on a curb - and sometimes waiting for late buses heading to Boston or New York, nothing beats Megabus' friendly workers and drivers. I feel like the Greyhound/Peter Pan bus drivers always want to beat me up, besides that Tony Delgado fellow.

Greyhound/Peter Pan recently reduced their "web fares" to $44/rt, but that's still more expensive than the usualy $30 you'd pay on Megabus. If Megabus can figure a way not to drop people off at a curb - at least a place with shelter, they should still be the best option from Hartford to Boston or New York for the upcoming year.

Anyway Megabus...here is your ABC award for Awesome Bus Conduct.
