OMG! Who here has ever traveled by Greyhound Bus?

Taking the bus is 'taking such a big chance'? Not really. Just go to the local Greyhound station [or the Greyhound website], take a look at when the buses leave for NY, and buy a ticket. It's that simple.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Usually if you want to buy them ahead of time you'll need to goto the station in person.

Generally, I find it's a good idea to buy your ticket a week ahead of time, because they usually offer a discount for doing so. Also, if you bring a friend, you can buy a ticket ahead of time, and get 'Companion Fare'. Instead of buying two full price tickets, it costs something like 1 ticket + 25% of 2nd ticket, saving you both a bunch of cash. And that way, you have someone to sit with that you actually know.

How ya doing, buddy?
