In addition to the bus flip today, early this morning (around 2am) my friend was on a Fung Wah bus coming back from Boston that caught on fire. Nobody was injured so I guess that's why it didn't make the news but still...just plan ahead and pay the damn $50 and go by Jetblue.
When I drive back home to Brooklyn from Boston, I'll usually hover between 80-95mph. At that speed range, I have had Fung Wah buses pass me. Yeah, I know I shouldn't be driving at that speed but there is a huge difference when a sports car drives at that speed and a bus.
A link to Jack Cracker's Flickr page would be nice. I'd like to see more of his pics.
Fung Wah costs $15.00 each way. Not $10.00. I used it this weekend also. My experience up was rather good. Nice bus. Leisurely pace. Way back though was a bit crazy. Departed boston about 7:25 p.m. The driver made the 3 hr and 55 min trip (according to Mapquest) in about 3 hr and 20 min. We were definitely passing cars and other bus lines. Funny this article came up 'cause I was wondering if this was normal or safe myself and surprised they haven't been called out for speeding before. Driver was doing at least 70-75 mph at times.
that nikola guy is an excellent photographer, but I really hate the motherf'er crowd. it's much worse than hipsters, because the hipster aesthetic is generally based on minimal effort. these people make concious efforts for every coke-addled minutiae of their being.
"Hipster aesthetic, minimal effort?!"
Ha!
it's not $50 roundtrip to boston on jetblue.
