Chinatown bus to and from Foxwoods?
I live in Manhattan and my buddies are from Boston. I'm heading to Boston by bus this weekend for a birthday on Saturday then me and a couple of friends will be driving to Foxwoods on Sunday to play a little poker. Now here's the dilemma, I need to get back to Manhattan somehow and I heard about the Chinatown/Flushing bus that goes to and from Foxwoods from NY. I've tried to google it but I can't find a website or any schedule information. Does anyone have any specific information, bus schedule regarding this bus? Any alternatives? If not, I'll just have to rent a car for the day.
thanks.

Re: Chinatown bus to and from Foxwoods?
Metro-North 212-532-4900 or 800-638-7646 http://www.mta.info The MTA Metro-North departs daily from selected Manhattan and Bronx stations. Metro-North will transport you to New Haven, where you may board a bus to Foxwoods. You will receive a Casino Bonus Value Package. Depart Arrive in New Haven Grand Central Station 1 hour, 45 minutes 125th Street Station 1 hour, 35 minutes Fordham Station 1 hour, 55 minutes The bus trip from New Haven lasts 1 hour, 30 minutes. http://www.foxwoods.com/AboutFoxwoods/GettingHere.aspx Don't take the Chinatown bus. The risk to your safety/potential lost time due to breakdown isn't worth saving $5.

Greyhound does have a direct bus from Foxwoods to Manhattan thought for $25 one-way but would take about 3 hours long.

Re: Chinatown bus to and from Foxwoods?
Once at Foxwoods you can get info at their bus depot. Though I would do it in person rather than calling them - they got it wrong over the phone...
Also, take it easy on Al. He is one of the funnier posters in B&M.

Re: Chinatown bus to and from Foxwoods?
I was playing at Foxwoods yesterday and the china bus came up as a topic of conversation with one of the other regulars...the table was good and we didnt' want to leave.
- I don't remember the exact times except about every 2 hours for most of the day. He took one that left at 4:30 and got to where he was going at 7. - He said he takes this bus regularly and normally makes 20. It seems the bus fair is 10 dollars, and when you get your ticket you also get three coupons that are good for matching bets up to 15 dollars on table games. As soon as the people are on the bus, the auction starts for these coupons and they normally sell for 10 bucks. (so you sell them all for 30, making 20 bucks profit over your 10 dollar buy in). - He also said these buses were LOUD...everyone constantly yelling into cell phones in Chinese. If you take the bus you want to have an ipod or earplugs. - You can call 1-800-FOXWOODS and ask for the schedule, or pick up a printed schedule at any of the valet's or counters.
