Between New York and Boston

Chinatown Services: Current Schedules and Fares
(as of 28 April 2002)

Since I've been driven to rule out other means of getting between New York and Boston, the Chinatown services are probably the only ones I'll take. I've used only Fung Wah Transport Vans, but I've discovered a couple of others, and I present their schedules here in a consolidated timetable.

I'll update this page every couple of months, whenever I get around to picking up new schedules. Nevertheless, it's worth checking with the companies before making travel plans. Reservations may be required, and schedules and fares are subject to change without notice (insert your favorite disclaimer here). You'll notice slightly different schedules on the companies' Web sites, but the information on the flyers I picked up (which is what's reflected below) seems to be more current.
