NYC Chinatown buses to Philadelphia
I think there are really only 2 Chinatown buses that go to Philadelphia and they are Eastern and New Century. They may sell tickets under different name like Apex bus or even Mega bus but it is still Eastern. Eastern is only 8 dallors one way and 15 round trip. I think you can only buy ticket at NYC. I couldn’t see where they sell ticket at Philadelphia and they only has bus every 2 and a half hours. New Century is 12 dallors one way and 20 round trip and their run on every hour and they even have an office in Philadelphia. For a two hours trip, both buses are above the same. On week days when not too people are going down to Philadelphia, you can take the less expensive bus but on a weekend or busy traval day then I would stay with the Bolt bus. These Chinatown buses will not stop selling tickets even when there is no more room and it will be a mess trying to get on the bus.
