BoltBus-type service to Canada headed our way?

Posted by Paul Makishima, Globe Assistant Sunday Editor May 16, 2008 11:03 AM

The folks at Greyhound -- who brought you BoltBus -- are at least as excited about the whole lower-price, free WiFi, guaranteed (and clean) seating bus idea as you are. Maybe more. Right now, Bolt travels between Boston and New York (as well as NY-DC and NY-Philly).
But Greyhound has decided to partner with Adirondack Trailways and will start offering BoltBus-type service between New York and Toronto, starting May 22. They're calling this new venture NeOn.
I spoke with Greyhound's Dustin Clark about it, and he told me that this was a kind of a pilot project and that if it's successful the company will probably look at other good markets -- like Boston -- to see whether there is sufficient interest. And to where.
Toronto is OK, but, Dustin, if you guys start up between Boston and Montreal, I'm there.
Stay tuned.
