Who were you at the table??? Come on, such a tease.

The Mets guy made a horrible play with top set and got lucky. "I knew where I was but I wanted to go so I went w/ it". Never a good strategy.

When are you going? You can call Foxwoods bus marketing department and they will let you know your options. Greyhound leaves south station at least twice a day. There is a Chinatown bus also. There is also a bus from North Quincy(short train ride on red line) that leaves every day from at 9:30, 10:30, 1:30(?) and 9:30 p.m. You have to call them in advance cuz those buses sell out quick.

I posted this to the same question asked in the MS thread. Peter Pan leaves south station for Foxwoods, Greyhound services MS.
The China town buses do not have a very good reputation for safety, so avoid those if you can.

TBH I am not a big fan of giving out the info about the Asian buses because I hate when they are sold out and I want a seat

There was a fatal crash in March involving a Chinatown bus returning from the Mohegan Sun that killed 15 (Google for more info).

As for reputation for safety, it's true that Chinatown buses have atrocious records. The NYC to Foxwoods Chinatown bus, operated by Sky Express, is ranked in the bottom 15% for safety violations (CBS just did an undercover video on this).

Brush Hill Tours, which both Trans-Pacific (Boston Chinatown) and Anna Travel (Quincy) charter buses from, isn't ranked too highly either.

But $10 roundtrip with a $60 match play kickback is just too enticing for frugal gamblers.

I am going from personal experience. I have used Anna travel around 100 times and only had one inconvenience and that was when there was a mechanical problem and we had to wait in RI for less than a half hour for a new bus to come.

As far as my experience goes they are almost always on time and cheaper than greyhound. Not sure where the rankings are coming from but I would be interested to see them.

I don't believe they follow the full standard for hiring drivers and they also seem to over work there drivers, leading to tired drivers. That's just what I have heard from people.

That is certainly what happened in the unfortunate NY incident.

As far as Anna Travel goes, like I said, I have had one "bad" experience in 100, which wasn't even that bad. I took the bus out of Chinatown once and it left a half hour later than it was supposed to. Anna Travel has always left on time when I took it from NQ. I would have no problem recommending it to friends.

Just booked 4 free nights 5/23 - 5/27. It was "booked" through the online page but when I called they arranged rooms for me with no problems. Gonna be playing 20/40 Stud, some PLO8, and hopefully some big mixed games. It will be a nice transition to the WSOP the following week.
