Its 7 pm. July 5th

Due to police activity inside lincoln tunnel there was no 5:30, 6, 6:30 or 7pm bus

Nothing expected for one hour

Line in port authority is passed the restrooms

If you know the port authority you know that is astounding

Waiting here now

Just giving any travelers the good news

Sounds illegal to me selling a ticket, not providing any service as promised, and not providing a refund, regardless of the fine print. It's the bus company's decision not to drive another way right.

If the Lincoln Tunnel is shut down, any alternative bus route would turn a two and a half hour trip into a six hour one. I can understand them canceling, but they need to refund.

What always blows my mind about the Lincoln Tunnel is how many F’ing ceramic tiles line the walls and ceiling. And it was built during a time where tiles didn’t come in huge sheets like they often do today. Nothing like that would ever be done on a modern project.

I live in Philly suburbs. Some of the highest earning, most successful people I know take the SEPTA train into the city every day. It's faster.

2-2 on best ways to travel. Driving to AC means endless tolls, horrible traffic, dealing with accidents and wildfires, and then paying to park.
Usually, you show up, buses run every 30 minutes or so and once on board, watch a movie or do some work.

To be fair(as Nathan would say), Nathan also rides the bus. Great minds do think alike.

This is for Nathan and Dark.

Well i made it

Saw someone sneak onto the bus line and present a players card for the bonus. The woman told him it had already been used today and present ID. The guy left quickly. Interesting to see that hustle I wrote about years ago is still going on

If you see a guy compensating with a really long hot dog thats me

She must have been really drunk as well and forgot anything that happened that night since she went on a 3rd date with you (-;

I found this but the accident was earlier at 10 am. However the tow and police investigation may have taken hours. its a very narrow tunnel. A 5 minute drive takes an hour every day during rush hour. It just becomes clogged with traffic

After getting everyone out and the investigation and getting a tow inside it may have taken all day

Probably cheaper than driving, considering gas prices and compound wear and tear on your car. Plus if you're taking a bus you can get drunk at the casino and not have to worry about driving home.

Taking a bus is definitely an AP move in certain circumstances.

Leaders of " most feared AP teams" simply do not mix with the huddled masses. They take helicopters to optimize their valuable time in the casino.

Or they take inexpensive busses and use the valuable time to catch up on their reading

Spending thousands on helicopter trips does not sound like a valuable AP move

And if I need an extended period of time i would rent a hotel room
