and how LONG it takes

i'd look up airplane tickets but you hate them so much

it's like two months until these tickets, why are they so expensive

??? where ar eyou looking?

I've done a greyhound NYC to Pittsburgh for $10, it shouldn't be much!

what really?? the greyhound i'm looking at is ilke $160 for round trip

wat

let me take a look

okay well first off if you book to New York and not New York Penn that lowers the cost of a one-way ticket to $40

so round trip to New York and back should be $80

oH

i see

megabus is about the same

I'm pretty sure the New York buses go to Port Authority which is just ten blocks up from Penn anyway so whatever

$35 for the midnight bus to NYC arriving on Friday, $39 for the bus that arrives back in pittsburgh at 8:30 pm on Sunday

OR we could do the one that leaves at 6 am and arrives at 3 pm

arriving on Friday in the early morning then I suppose

** 1:30 pm

which is $35

WAIT my bad, leaving Friday, arriving butts early on Saturday

wait where are you finding those buses? the earliest bus I see on friday is a 2 am one, and they all cost $40 minimum....

oh sorry this is megabus

OH

Departs 10:45 PM Pittsburgh, PA , 10th St and Penn Ave
Arrives 7:30 AM New York, NY , 7th Ave & 28th St.

for $35

arrives 7:30 am saturday

i suppose we could but I got screwed over by megabus going to and from otakon :/ I'm not inclined to use them again.

I feel like for an extra $6 Greyhound is a much more reliable service.

ohhh no i'm sorry babe ;A; what happened?

so far megabus has been nothing but fine for me

I got delayed two hours going to otakon, which is why i couldn't pick up my badge on thursday as planned, and i got delayed an "indeterminate amount of time" going back

aw geez what the hell

and i wasn't keen on the idea of waiting around to see how long the delay would even be, I was worried I'd get back into NY after trains back to NJ would stop running, so a friend drove me home.

i dunno, last year they were fine but this year I just. :|||||||

ahhh ;0;

idk i'm not inclined to spend more than i have to on bus but i guess i can take a look

trains are also more expensive HHH

i dunno. maybe greyhound will fuck us over too. maybe megabus will be just fine. I guess it's not too severe if we run late, we basically have all of friday and sunday for transport.

if we take a bus that early to New York there will be no problem. if we take an earlier bus back to Pittsburgh, we shouldn't have any issues getting home before buses stop running.

yeah

@0@

idk it's not TOO much more expensive, i'll just pass on a couple bubble teas and figure it out that way i guess

NO LOOK WE CAN TAKE MEGABUS SO LONG AS WE PLAN FOR POTENTIAL DELAYS

either the midnight friday or 6 am friday buses sound fine, we'll get to NY on Friday eventually even with delays.

OMG HHHHH greyhound has a lot more time slots now that i look at it

if we can swing an earlier Sunday bus though that'd be best because otherwise we might need to take a cab in Pittsburgh to our apartments.

i have actually never taken a greyhound

there's a greyhound that comes back at 4:30 that leaves at 8: am

we could take greyhound down and megabus back ahahaahaa

anything works so long as we can get back to our respective places on sunday night without shelling out extra for a cab

just book it twice over and then tell me how much i owe you

oop ok

hhhh agonizes over bus tickets

do you prefer 6 am bus back or 8 am bus or 12:50 pm bus

all of them will get us back at a reasonable time with time to spare until the buses stop running

8 am is Greyhound, 6am and 12:50 are megabus

if we take 12:50 and get up early we can have breakfast and lunch in the city and still have time for a photoshoot somewhere.

photoshoot only outside the con though, our badges are clearly marked for saturday only

no yeah duh

i was thinking with some nice city backdrops u

wow shit that was not supposed to be like that

+u+

better

and i'm thinkin' the 10:30 pm greyhound on friday so we can sleep on the bus?? and then we'd arrive around 5:50 am

mmmm, maybe? I think I'd prefer going earlier and sleeping in a bed proper friday night (assuming the hotel room is booked friday night too??? i dunno) but if that's not possible I'm fine with 10:30pm friday

my last class ends at 1:30 so i'll see what I can do!

oh shit hahaha you have class on fridays YEAH DON'T....SKIP CLASS, KIDDO....

i don't have anything on fridays this semester, so i'm free for whatever.

ahaha cries

there's a Megabus at 3pm that arrives midnight, and there's a Greyhound that departs 3:15 arriving at 11:40 (because it's express)

the megabus is $32 though which is nice

it is your decision, my child

aaaaaaaaaaaa
