Megabus Hartford Coming Back?

Megabus sent registered users who emails today with a survey trying to determine two questions: Should Megabus move from Back Bay Station to South Station? And...Should Megabus add another stop in between Boston and Hartford?

If you want Megabus to come back to Hartford, I encourage you to click here to take the poll that Megabus is looking for feedback on. The last question on this short SurveyMonkey poll asks whether you would like Megabus to stop between NYC and Boston. The options are Hartford, Providence, and Bridgeport. Obviously, if you are reading this Pulitzer-losing blog you should definitely vote HARTFORD. Take the poll with different browsers (or clear your cookies and repeat poll within the same browser) and we can help push HARTFORD to the top of the priority list.

If Megabus was smart, instead of the poll they would just look at the lines at South Station/Port Authority for the Peter Pan/Greyhound gate to Hartford, and see there is a lot of money to be made. All they have to do is a little marketing and the Boston-Hartford or New York-Hartford routes would be really popular. They should even dedicate a route to just Boston-Hartford and New York-Hartford to avoid the constant and awful no seat despite your reservation awkward momments.

So please if you have literally 2 minutes to fill out a survey, please click here to take the poll.

Here is part of the email Megabus sent to Boston-New York customers.
