NYC to AC

[BigStack650]

I will be in NYC this summer and I was wondering how long it would take to get from NYC to AC out of Port Authority on a bus? What would be the ideal time to leave?

Takes about 3 hours. What days are you planning on going? I would try to catch an early bus on the weekends and Fridays because of traffic to the Jersey Shore. Otherwise leave before 3 during the week and after 730.

Don't take Port Authority. Take the buses servicing the Asian community for $10 dollars. You get free $20 for slots, and $30 match play or something like that. These buses are all over in Flushing, and Canal/Bowery Chinatown also.

The advantage of Greyhound (or Academy) from the Port Authority is that you have an open return (i.e. you can take any bus you want back). Is the same true in Chinatown?

Where are these busses? When I'm feeling degen I still take the PA bus, I've heard rumors of the Ctown busses but I've never seen them walking through the area.

usually the corner delis have signs in the windows , I've never done it before but thats SOP for most the place that I've sen do them (I used to take a bus from Long Island to AC and from CT to Foxwoods) thats how I always found them.

You might not want to take the Chinatown buses as their accident record is kind of high. One incident was a bus crash, after the driver fell asleep.

Try to avoid the bus from 4-7 pm esp on Friday. It can take up to 5 hours. I recommend Academy bus over Greyhound.
