Yesterday a Fun-Wah bus en route from New York to Boston rolled over onto its driver's side when it drove too fast on an off-ramp.
Was I surprised? Not really. Since my car expired earlier this year, Fung-Wah (and occassionally Greyhound) has been my primary way of getting back and forth from Boston to New York. It's hard to tell how fast the bus is driving when I'm in the back, it's dark, and I'm sleeping for most of the trip, but I was startled when one late trip from Boston to New York clocked in at 3 hours and 15 minutes. Sure, it was late and the roads weren't heavily trafficked, but when 4 hours or a little bit more is the standard, 3:15 is a little to rapid for my taste.
I took the Fung-Wah back to NY on a 9pm bus from Boston and arrived at 12:30am on the nose. It's nice to get back earlier than expected, but at what cost? I don't care which shortcuts the bus took- a trip that short in a full-size motor coach is a difficult feat if you're driving at the speed limit, or even a few miles over it.
I'm sure I'll use Fung-Wah again in the future- after all, they have buses going back and forth between NY and Boston all day, every day, and two incidents in the last 2 years where nobody's gotten seriously hurt isn't that horrible a record, but if it's a more convenient, I may spend the extra 5 bucks and add an extra 45 minutes to my trip and take Greyhound.
