Okay so far you guys have been a great help. My family and I were planning on taking amtrak to boston to finish our east coast vacation before flying back home. We found out that Amtrak only allows luggage (22x21x14) basically the size of carry on luggage for planes. Along with a 255 price tag.
So we thought of taking Greyhound. We have never taken greyhound and we were wondering if any of you have ever taken the bus up to Boston. The price tag is quite a bit lower (115.00 standard) or (60 non-refund) for a family of 4.
I know how bus stations can be so give me some insight. we are staying in Manhattan near grand central station so we would be leaving from somewhere near there.
Thanks

Have you looked into Fung Wah bus? They constantly run routes between NYC and Boston and are significantly cheaper that what you have listed. The bus runs between the two cities respective Chinatowns.

This is a duplicate thread; the other has a vaguer title but more responses.

We did exactly that from Manhattan to Boston by Greyhound and we had full suitcases which we had carted for six months around Europe first.The trip did not take too long and we were quite happy with it..no problems at bus stations or anywhere else. You will be fine!

Thanks for the responses. I figure that I can save a little and not have to hassle with extra baggage with 2 kids in tow by taking greyhound. Kids are 7 & 11 and I think they will enjoy the trip both ways.
