Yes, once service is back. The route is suspended right now and listed as set to resume in late November. When it runs, OurBus lists one bus a day from Foggy Bottom to Morgantown — 164.2 miles, about 4 hours 15 minutes, fares from $75 — dropping at Mountaineer Station on the WVU campus. Both ends sit near transit, which is what makes the carless version possible. The part worth planning is the last mile: Mountaineer Station is a short…
Because a bus stop only has to be a place a coach can legally pull in and passengers can wait, and a building is one way to do that, not a requirement. Read a run of route pages, though, and the premise falls apart. We found the choice isn’t sidewalk or station at all. It’s terminals in a couple of cities, curbs in most, and a stranger category besides that includes a shopping mall, a gas station lot, an airport…
OurBus runs Philadelphia to Jersey City direct, no transfer and no Port Authority, about 93 miles in roughly two hours. Most people assume every trip north ends up crossing Manhattan, and here it doesn’t have to. The thing worth knowing before you book isn’t the fare, though. It’s that the same four departures give opposite answers depending on which end you start from: going north there’s no way home the same day, and going south there is. We found that…
There’s a written rulebook, it’s shorter than you’d guess, and reading it shows you exactly where the unwritten rules begin. Every prohibition in it is about harm — smoke, spills, weapons, substances. Everything else published is logistics: what you can bring, how heavy it can be, when to be at the stop. Neither category says a word about how to behave toward the person beside you, and that’s where the friction actually lives. Three questions cover almost all of it:…
Pick the Toronto stop nearest where you are sleeping, because the bus is scheduled in somewhere between 11:15 PM and 11:45 PM, and that single fact outranks everything else. OurBus drops at two places that are nothing like each other: 44 York Street downtown, in the bus loading zone just north of Front Street alongside the Fairmont Royal York Hotel, or Toronto Pearson International Airport, Terminal 1 ground level at posts P2 to P4. They sit on opposite sides of…
Yes. Since September, the Binghamton weekend bus has dropped riders directly in Middletown, Nanuet, Fresh Meadows in Queens and Melville on Long Island, so a trip home no longer has to pass through Manhattan first. OurBus built the stops around where students’ families actually live. The catch is timing: the earliest of these buses leaves at 10:10 AM, hours after the first run to Manhattan. What changed on the Binghamton weekend run? On Thursday, September 3, 2026, OurBus began selling…
Yes, comfortably, and the ride is the least of your problems. Halloween Nights at Eastern State Penitentiary runs select nights from October 2 through November 7, 2026, a visit averages about 90 minutes, and the Philadelphia corridor carries 19 to 20 OurBus departures a day with the last one home at 11:25 PM. What actually decides your evening is the ticket, because entry is sold in half-hour windows tied to a specific date and time. Our editorial team checked the…
Yes, you can book an OurBus ticket for someone else, and the instruction is shorter than you would expect. OurBus tells you to buy the ticket the usual way, then put the traveler’s name on it instead of your own. You never have to be on the bus. The booking is the easy part. What trips people up comes afterward, because the confirmation arrives in your inbox while the person boarding needs something on their phone. Our editorial team fact-checked…
Sometimes, and when the fare gap is real, the bus is what makes it practical. The play is called positioning: you find a flight out of BWI or Philadelphia that beats anything from the New York airports, then ride OurBus to that city — $17 to Baltimore, $9 to Philadelphia — and connect to the airport by local rail. It’s how travelers fly cheaper without waiting for an NYC fare sale. We verified both transit chains; the airfare math is…
Bus in the day before, or on the earliest Sunday departure. The 2026 TCS New York City Marathon starts at 8:00 AM on Sunday, November 1 — the 50th anniversary of the five-borough course, per New York Road Runners — and the official guidance says most of the course is open to spectators from mile 3 to mile 26. Buses from Philadelphia, DC, and Boston can land you in the city before the leaders hit Manhattan. Marathon spectating is a…
