Maybe it’s more about luggage and convenience. If you are close to one station but your journey really starts at the other your ticket increase will be minimal; if you are going to Kansas City it appears to offer no increase in cost. If you have a huge ass suitcase this might be a real convenience for you to avoid…

Not sure why this is so baffling. I doubt very much the bus just goes back and forth from Manhattan to Brooklyn. It goes from one, stops at the other along the way, and goes wherever it is going next. It’s no different than the fact that technically you can buy an Amtrak First Class ticket from Boston South Station to…

When I rode from Monterey CA to Pensacola FL in 95, I brought an ounce of weed and a couple of cheap vodka pints to make the nearly 3 day trip go faster. I smoked at every smoke break-all the drivers were smokers. I also hit up bars on changes and breaks. Had headphones on and looked out the window. Quite enjoyable. 

Uh, nothing, the entire article is about Greyhound vs. the subway. Weird that I would make a comment related to the article we are both commenting on. 

Subway vs. Greyhound in vehicular form. 

Just sayin’.

This is probably a feeder line into their main terminal. If you’re going from Brooklyn to Boston for example (as my friend does often to see family), you probably buy a ticket from Brooklyn to Boston with one connection at Port Authority. I doubt many people are buying this ticket for the journey you mentioned...but…

Because the NY subway is famously known for its pleasantness and lack of creepy men. 

For those who don’t know, the Greyhound station in Downtown Brooklyn is located basically right on top of Hoyt-Schermerhorn station on the A and C trains. Those same two trains also stop in Manhattan immediately below the Port Authority Bus Terminal where this route originates.

Greyhound was better when people were less rotten, and more capable of sitting quietly for long periods.

This is probably it. If you are a stranger to the Big Rotten, then the subway is basically Cthulhu forcing you to sit a math exam. You will never figure it out on your own, and it will swallow you whole if you try. For people from outside America, who might only be in New York once or twice in their whole lives, and…

Jalopnik - the Subway in New York is dumb and bad!

My guess is it’s a ferry trip for buses whose trips terminate in midtown but start the next one in Brooklyn and since they have to make the drive anyway, might as well see what suckers will at least cover the gas money.

So you’re a lazy SOB.

You may have just broken/catfished David Tracy, depending on your motives. 

Should we start a Gofundme page to held David off-load most of his yard? I’m afraid he will go bankrupt paying people to take his vehicles.

If you love them let them go. Wouldn’t you rather have them go to someone who will use them and maintain them than for them to sit neglected and deteriorating in your yard? Remember, you are selling things, not the memories they helped you make.

That’s a pretty maintainable fleet, there.
