Adult Easterns - New York Area transportation alternative

[TimDavidSkate]

I just tried to look for backups in terms of transportation and found this.

The Greyhound bus is having a NYC sale $15 each way, $30 roundtrip
(no tax) from Port Authority Station to Boston, MASS (http://www.greyhound.com/scripts/en/TicketCenter/esavers.asp)

1. Port Authority, NYC to Boston, MASS ~ bus arrives at South Station.

2. Take MBTA subway: RED line - SOUTH STATION and go one stop to Downtown Crossing and transfer to the ORANGE line and go 3 stops to NORTH STATION

~ Find signs that take you to the Fitcburg/South Acton Line - Commuter Rail

3. From North Station take it to South Acton Station (11 stops)

~ According to the official hotel - Holiday Inn, they have shuttle services that can pick you up from South Acton Station to the hotel. Times for complimetary shuttle service is 7am to 10pm (http://www.mbta.com/schedules_and_maps/)

first link is to the Greyhound Bus NYC fare/schedule information
second link is the MBTA maps/schedule - subway and commuter rail

Hope this helps for any NYC/NJ area competitors who are planning on taking public transportation.

Just an FYI, though! The MBTA isn't a ton of good if you're going as far out as Acton is, Acton is probably a good 45 minutes outside of the city. Going all that way on the MBTA with all your luggage is going to take a while, plus probably be pretty cumbersome lugging your stuff around. It's do-able, but if you're going to do this, pack light to save yourself some hassles! Granted, Tim's directions are easier than if you're going to try the T from Logan, which I also don't reccomend.

Also, anyone coming from NYC that isn't driving, please DO NOT take the Fung Wah bus! They've been involved in several accidents lately and aren't safe, IMO.
