if they're serious about this proposal, and not BSRC 2.0, the last thing they would want to do is offer a 5+ hour ride on outdated buses. I would prefer a train (of course), but millions of tourists nationwide take motor coaches (busses) annually and some of them are quite nice. These aren't Greyho...

Wouldn't they have to compete with the planned Amtrak service and whatever Midcoast has cooking up post-RDC? I feel like having three operators on the line (Amtrak, Midcoast, and these guys) would be a bit crowded. Midcoast seems game: The company would need to reach a deal with Midcoast Railservic...

The most direct transit services (Boston Express, Concord Coach) are privately operated, with the State providing o...

NH's #1 industry is tourism. The disdain New Hampshirites have towards the folks that pay so much to help account for their low tax rates through 8.5% rooms and meals tax, cigarette taxes, liquor stores, fireworks shops, casinos and whatnot never ceases to amaze me.

Great news! Shaving 30 minutes off both DC-NYC and NYC-BOS is a huge improvement.

Just by reducing the amount of money refunded, as these changes do, will bring more money in. I like the idea, business wise. If you are going to reserve, you will have to have some skin in the game. Should increase usage rate as well, as maybe less people cancelling and leaving seats empty.
