BoltBus, a division of Greyhound Lines Inc., will launch service between Boston's South Station and New York's Penn Station area on April 24. Tickets go on sale April 7 at www.boltbus.com.

At least one seat on every bus will cost just $1 one way, plus a booking fee of 50 cents, and the remainder will be priced according to market demand. Fares will rise the longer passengers wait, up to a maximum of $20 for a walkup fare.

BoltBus, which will have 12 daily departures on this route on weekdays and more on the weekends, will be the first low-cost carrier on this popular route to offer free Wireless internet access.

MegaBus, another new entrant in the competitive Northeast Corridor market, also will offer $1 seats and free WiFi once service starts on May 30. BoltBus is celebrating by offering every seat between April 24 and April 27 for $1. MegaBus has done one better by offering every seat for free during its first week of service.
