How to book the NYC-Toronto Neon bus
Greyhound and Adirondack Trailways now jointly run a discount bus line
called Neon, which runs between NYC, Syracuse, Rochester, Buffalo, and Toronto. It loads on the street, and supposedly has discount fares as low as $1. But when I try to buy tickets on either company's site, I get forwarded to the regular Greyhound schedule website, which quotes the standard Greyhound advance purchase fares. How do you get the discount fares? Jimmy |

Help 1 Adult $15.00 $15.00 Ok, I think I wasn't seeing the special Neon discounted fares because I wasn't searching far enough in advance. Megabus and Boltbus don't require an advance purchase. They just offer a few cheap seats until they're gone, and then sell slightly more expensive seats that are still much less than standard Greyhound fares. So I was expecting Neon to work the same way. So is a Neon ticket only good for a single date and time? And if so, does that mean a spot is reserved for you? Jimmy |

There are no seat assignments and it's first come, first serve. i don't think Neon is operating at the time of this post because as i try to access www.neonbus.com i get forwarded to the regular Greyhound website for fares. Is anyone else experiencing this? |

Jimmy as I understand it Neon is a last minute discount seat offer from Greyhound and has one seat assigned to it for each bus which allows it to advertise the low price once taken they offer the low or slightly higher based on time to bus departure Most of my offerings have been at time they are obligated legally to offer seat normally 8 to 24 hrs before departure or last minute to fill the bus on express route New York-Toronto or other direction sorry now try to smile |
