PUBLIC SERVICE * USA - Bus line leads all to Chinatown
Richmond,VA,USA -News Observer, by SARAH OVASKA -10 April 2010: -- It was 4:30 a.m. at a bleak truck stop when the driver stopped the New York City-bound bus, waking the passengers and reeling off what sounded like very important instructions in Chinese... The passengers, who boarded in Raleigh, needed to grab their luggage and get on another bus that had come down from New York. The travelers on the second bus would take their places and head south to Raleigh... Confused? Imagine it in Mandarin... Such is life on the Sky Express bus, where $30 secures a one-way ticket from the Triangle to New York's Chinatown... Long a mainstay in Northeast cities with sizable Asian populations, the bus lines offer a no-frills way to get to New York for $50 to $100 less than other buses or trains...
