Correction - New Haven is the THIRD largest city in CT, with Stamford coming in at number 2. So Caleb still didn't do his research! For the record, New Haven was the second-largest according to the 2010 census, but Stamford saw higher growth in the intervening years, and it shot up to second place in the 2020.

Im just happy that you, Miles, and others in the crew have girlfriends and vis versa.😂

There's carpet on the ceiling of a motorcoach because well....WHY NOT? I mean the carpet you showed at 11:39 looks pretty cool too, so it adds to the ambience. The arch and colonnade you saw at 4:57 for the Manhattan Bridge are made of Hallowell granite from Maine. They are decorated with two groups of allegorical sculptures by Carl Augustus Heber and a frieze called "Buffalo Hunt" by Charles Cary Rumsey. The design of the arch and colonnade signify the fact that the Manhattan Bridge becomes Flatbush Ave in Brooklyn, and Flatbush Ave goes to the Atlantic, thus it's meant to be a gateway to the ocean! The arch was based on Paris's Porte Saint-Denis. It is one of the city's three remaining triumphal arches, the others being the Washington Square Arch and the Soldiers' and Sailors' Arch! The colonnade and plaza on the other hand was modeled after the one surrounding St. Peter's Square in Vatican City.

love a driver who goes full classic DJ on the microphone. adds some zest to the stale experience of commuting on these miserable buses

Keep doing all the buses you want! They are under appreciated. I rode Greyhound for the first time between Newark and Williamsburg overnight- fine experience: early, clean, good sensible driver.

1- you’re moving to philly? no… 2- word on the megabus stuff. i visited toronto (and montreal) via megabus and my ticket from pittsburgh to toronto was less than a zone two fare on PAT! it was nice to visit my fam in akron too instead of using greyhound. i’m sad it didn’t stick around.

Your driver on the first bus must have been chugging Red Bulls or something... lol

It's amazing what you do for Kalkidan. I love her. She is the Suzzanne to your Jeb. My favorite Ethiopian restaurant is in MT. Vernon Baltimore. It is called Tabor Ethiopian restaurant. Take the Capitol Limited to DC. Then take the MARC Camden line to Camden. Take the Light rail link to Lexington Market and the rest is 4-minute walk. Red lentil sambusa there is 20/10. I feel like Ethiopian food is very underrated. Also, in New Haven visit Lalibela Ethiopian Restaurant.

Nice video again. With you Miles and Transit, like Alex Davis wish make more videos but You and Miles and Transit are my favorite.

Love the bus content. This channel has really become a favorite of mine. Informative, funny, nerdy, and endearing!

So it smelled like a fish called Wanda Coach bus? Got it.

3:50 CALEB IS CANON TO THE FNAF LORE, THIS IS NOT A DRILL! That means through Classy Whale, the whole Miles in Transit cinematic universe is connected to FNAF! Man, I'm unleashing my inner MatPat (but seriously thanks for including my edit from the Discord lol)

That Megabus driver is such an MC!

11:46 The bus is probably from the 90s... when they carpeted everything

I'm 100% pro nationalized rail BUT for coaches I think some free-market competition in a busy region or on popular routes can definitely work really well. Considering you have some supervision and not a race to the price bottom at the expense of safety. Would definitely enjoy a video on that! Using a small store as waiting room/kiosk/information/ticket sales point is a great idea. Your girlfriend was very excited haha. Keep it up!

0:59 mark ... Looks like you nearly got screwed by the new Pittsburgh bus cuts. Really too bad that PRT cut the routes before the new Downtown/Oakland BRT is up and running! In any case, very glad you made it work anyway!

4:06 could've used the lucky star anime theme at this point, would've fit because the anime has the same name as the bus.

Glad to see you’re getting more affiliated with NYC. I tend to visit Grand Street a lot to visit the Lucky King bakery. They got some great coconut buns available. Though I have to say, I’m surprised none of these buses terminate at the PABT, the city’s premier bus terminal

5:21 yes

Spoilers: Wanda coach gets “Tide light rail schedule tier”

This was very entertaining

I had a good experience on ourbus from Elmira NY to NYC. Except for it passing within 1 mile of my house and it having to take me 5 or so hours to get back home in NJ.

I cannot wait to see American buses

Love the video I use our bus often on the Reading to NYC route the buses that run this route have always been top level they use Klein transportation bus never had a problem and no smelly toilet

The stop request button is unnecessary on Megabus as far as I know. However, those models of bus are often used for commuter services, where they are used. The only ceiling- mounted stop button I've personally used is on Delware's DART.

Cant wait!

That is not Long Island, Long Island city Queens you on 1st Ave your first Ave 39 st

Pour one out for the Fung Wah.

I cut it close on a MegaBus when they decided to leave early. As a result I missed my friends wedding

Kinda curious to see you do a review of some of the Northern VA/DC-NYC routes like VAmoose, Washington Deluxe, Jet, and Best Bus.

Im intrigued. This looks fun. Id try something like this

I enjoyed the comparison of the buses, they have much stricter standards in the UK, though you will see Megabus and Flixbus battling it out, as it were. Changing from one bus or train to another can have hazards in that there can be lateness and missed connections. As ever it is always a pleasure to see your video presentations and it was a great pleasure to see the smile on your girlfriend's face! Marvellous.

Give Peter Pan or Best Bus from DC a go. Best Bus was part of Our Bus from what I can gather but split off or branched out.

I find it fascinating how the busses got progressively worse throughout the trip. That Wanda bus was... pretty shockingly awful. On the other hand, I found the old CRT monitors on the OurBus and Wanda to be fascinating; I'm kinda surprised there's still busses in regular service with those! I absolutely dig the idea of a video about Chinatown busses and their history. This is pretty much my first time learning about them, so a deeper dive would be much appreciated at some point! Also, incredibly minor, galactically insignificant fun fact: I thought the Love's truck stop in Mifflinville that you stopped at on the MegaBus looked and sounded vaguely familiar. Turns out I stopped there for gas on a road trip with some friends to Knoebels over the summer! Again, very minor little thing, I just found it mildly amusing to see that same gas station again 3 months after I was there.

Lovely video as always. Are you learning Amharic for your gf's family? That's a really nice sentiment! I hope the learning process will go smoothly for you!

There seems to be a lot more competition in the US northeast bus market then here in Germany. We’ve only had competition in the intercity bus market for about 10 years, but it only took a couple years for all of the companies to either go bankrupt or be bought by Flixbus. I don’t think there is any serious competition to them right now. BlaBlaCar had a short run in 2019 but pulled out when the pandemic hit, I think they have since resumed operations, but I’m not sure as I don’t use the busses. I tried the long distance bus thing once when it was new and I could get a trip through the entire country for like 5€. Well, the bus took 11h instead of the planned 9, while the ICE would have made the same journey in 6. The toilet didn’t really work, the WiFi didn’t either (to be fair, the trains didn’t even have WiFi back then) and legroom felt closer to Ryanair then a nice intercity service. And since it’s a bus you can’t really get up and walk a few steps, if you want to stretch. Some of the stops were also in quite scetchy areas. I decided that day I don’t care how cheap the bus is, I’m taking the train. It’s still an important service as they are often cheaper then DB trains, but I don’t see them getting any major market share, because they are just too slow and prone to be stuck in traffic jams, even if our trains currently don’t have the best reputation for punctuality they’ll still beat a bus.

Where does the Greyhound back to Pittsburgh fall in the ranking?

That last carrier... Yeesh. At least it seems like you get good mileage per dollar on coach busses.

You two are adorable. She was so excited to see you! Another vote for a Chinatown bus video. Love this bus content

I cant wait!

I would never WANDA ride any of these! amtrak is my way to go, except megabus, I like double decker buses

gotta bring back fung wah!

Youre moving to Philly?! That's dope. If you ever wanna collab on trolley video or some thing some time, I'm down!

Dude, this was an awesome video! Thanks! I have ridden a few different bus companies. I would agree that MegaBus is far superior to most. I have never ridden a Chinatown bus but I have wondered what they are like. Thanks for biting that bullet for me! My favorite bus company ever is Baron's Bus. They operate mostly in Ohio, Indiana, and West Virginia. Sadly, the only PA stop is Erie, although they used to have a call-ahead stop in Meadville. If you haven't ridden them, you need to!

I remember Fung Wah..

Coach Express (the OurBus operator) is such a weird company. On one hand they have brand new Van Hools... on the other hand they also have 20-year old clapped out Van Hools and somehow an old Prevost XL-II (your bus which I honestly thought was extinct in the USA???).

lmao you visited boston on one of the red line's famous broadway short turn weekends

Have you ever ridden Tornado bus or other Texas bus companies?

Carpet on the walls and ceilings of vehicles is oh, so 70s (cue Cheap Trick). I'm not good at doing the math in my head, so how much did the buses cost total, and how does that compare to taking Amtrak all the way from Pittsburgh to Boston on the cheapest available coach fare (at least that is possible to do at decent hours, said the Ohioan)? I'm probably going to be shocked, since Congress has ruined taking Amtrak for anyone who is economically challenged. I don't think they have student fares anymore, do they?

I wouldn't mind a history video of the Chinatown buses. I remember seeing them everywhere and hearing about all the accidents and sketchy activities.

Your bus driver on mega bus sounds eerily similar to a hypnotist that came to a field trip I went on a couple weeks ago back. Could he have a side job for mega bus? Onto time would tell.

Loved this video for the transport variety. However, in general would love to see more transport content outside of Philly, NYC, and Boston like your Ethiopia series and miles in transit's least used station videos

I think coach buses are underrated and get a bad wrap. The bad reputation is from operators like Wanda Coach. But a good operator like FlixBus or Megabus that offers cheap fares, can be a great way to get around!

Caleb you kinda look like a younger David Wallace

What? You're moving to Philadelphia? I live in the suburbs of Philadelphia.

caoeb did his research?!!?!??!? (also i would love a video about chinatown bus history)

Technically you were pointing at Long Island City, a neighborhood in Queens (which i live in), when you were on the east side. Though it's also technically part of the island of Long Island, but not considered LI itself.... yeah, it's weird.

✌🏾

Why these buses have a smell?

At 2:19 you said no recline than what we’re you doing at 1:48 ,Israel flag at 13:53

For $6.75 more you could have been a hell of a lot more comfortable riding NJT and SEPTA to Philadelphia

1:32 but you are very tall

Diabetus

Carpet on roof? Rudimentary sound deadening.
