Where in the world is that? They don't board from Manhattan bridge anymore....?Let's switch this around. I took "Eastern" last Sunday. The old office on 11th Street was closed, with nothing really directing anyone to the new location. Fortunately, I knew where the buses were parking recently (for Apex/Cherry) and went by there, where I saw people waiting for a bus that just didn't show up. There were major problems with the Broad Street Marathon going on, and buses were stuck in it. Granted, I knew about the take-over...I guess Cherry/Today's Travel is gone now, along with that Neoplan I never got to ride. Coach USA is using it's ex-Suburban MCIs or the Eastern Branded J/D4500/05 coaches for "Chinabus" service, and also happened to eliminate the Sunday 9AM run I used to take to New York. The 10 AM bus that I managed to board and ride out of town, which was Eastern branded, got into New York a different way than Today used to take it. Somehow, after coming out of the tunnel, we ended up at 36th and 8th Ave, and the driver (operator?) let us off at Penn Station, which I was more than happy about. Now that the schedule is different and dragonbus isn't online yet, where can I find the current schedule information? Is Eastern the "working name" for Today's Travel until Dragonbus comes into effect? Whatever happened to Apex? Is that also now an "Eastern" service until Coach USA runs it? I thought Coach USA wasn't inheriting equipment with this merger...are they apt to replace everything with the same damn MCIs? Sorry for the questions - everything is just rather confusing. Is Coach USA trying to "upgrade" the service (sure didn't look like it by the new office), or just trying to eliminate competition? It think it's the latter... Most importantly, are Eastern Buses to Philadelphia still boarding at Manhattan Bridge by Canal Street? If not, where is 3 Pike Street and what is the nearest subway line/station? |
