Re: NY-AC Express Train Update from Phila. Inquirer
[ QUOTE ]
The people that go from Port Authority to Bally's or the Showboat or wherever in AC via bus are essentially the scum of the Earth. Riding that bus without an iPod is one of the most depressing experiences ever. People cheering when you first see Trump billboards and so forth. [/ QUOTE ] LOL I once had a guy sitting behind me animately bragging the entire way to his companion how he was gonna "hit it big" with a slot machine playing system he had devised - with only $80 in his pockets. I truly wanted to reach back and smack him with the magazine I was reading.

I find that Academy has considerably less riff raff than Greyhound. For that reason I prefer it over Greyhound. But Academy is less reliable as it is not always on time. As far as the train goes...that would be nice. But it looks like it will not be that much faster and may not be very economical in terms of its price. Also doesn't seem like it has too much variety in terms of departure time.

Re: NY-AC Express Train Update from Phila. Inquirer
that reminds me of the one genius who told me the casino cheats
for example he said the casino puts different sized studs on the back of the cards in BJ so if the dealer needs a 6 for instance they can feel for one. He also thought the dice were magically fixed in craps. He "proved" this by saying one time he bet on every number hitting but 6 and 6 hit.

Re: NY-AC Express Train Update from Phila. Inquirer
Maybe I'm just not very sensitive, but I've never found Greyhound bus to be objectionable. Sure, I'd prefer to be in hotel bed with a beautiful chick, but it's not like the idea of riding a bus disgusts me. I just take enough reading materials to last me two hours (you'll be sleeping on your way back).
