Why not? People in Philly may be interested in going to Richmond too, lol.

That would explain why I saw Academy buses handling charters for both Fairfield and Sacred Heart universities (the field hockey teams from both schools were in West Chester last weekend for games against WCU).

That said, I seriously doubt that Trans-Bridge will be bought out by Academy, unless there's something that I missed. Now, if Academy wanted to buy out Krapfs, that's another story (the Philly bus fans will know what I mean).

I also noticed that the SD9xx coaches have the Allison transmission, while the SD2xx coaches have the ZF Astronic transmission. I'm guessing these are Cummins engines (am I correct?) on all the single deck coaches.

Maybe the Philadelphia runs could be extended trips from DC (for Richmond) or Pittsburgh (for Chicago). Or, as was noted elsewhere in this thread, Pittsburgh could become a transfer hub for a NYC-Chicago run to allow connections to Philadelphia.

All I have to say is that if this NYC-Chicago Megabus run becomes a reality, I'd probably consider riding it. I've always wanted to go to Chicago, but it's kinda hard when you don't have the $$$ to get from Philadelphia.

For a NYC-Chicago run, I could see Pittsburgh and/or Cleveland as potential stops. That said, even with the Philly-Boston direct run, there was still a driver change at a rest area on the Jersey Turnpike (it was the Grover Cleveland stop heading north; not sure the relief point heading south).

Academy already has a facility in Westampton, just off Exit 5 of the NJ Turnpike on Highway 541.
