The Parx website doesn't list any bus lines other than the local ones.
Parx stopped doing business with the NYC bus operator because, after giving the bus players free play vouchers and food comps, they weren't really making any money off of them The buses would come to Parx East (poker building) and most of the players would team up with their free play vouchers and make equal opposing bets on roulette (red/black, odd/even, etc) and baccarat (player/banker) so that one bet would always win unless, of course, 0/00 hit on roulette. Once the vouchers ran out they would split their winnings and wait for the next bus back to NYC. Once they got back to NYC they would catch the next bus to Parx, rinse/repeat etc...
It finally got to the point where the cost of running the table games there just wasn't worth it so they just shut them down.
