NeON: New York to Toronto for Just $1.00

by Heather on May 20th, 2008

A transportation revolution is sweeping New York!  First BoltBus started service between D.C. and New York for $1.00, then they expanded to include service between New York and Boston for $1.00.  Now, Greyhound and Trailways have teamed to announce NeON, a new bus service between New York and Toronto, Ontario with tickets starting at just $1.00!

Service begins May 29th with twice-daily departures from New York’s Penn Station (map) to Toronto’s Royal York Hotel (map) at 8:45am and 8:45pm.   There are also twice-daily departures from Toronto to New York at 8:45am and 8:45pm.  You can count on the trip being at least 10 hours.

The trip may be a bit lengthy but all buses are equipped with videos, free Wi-Fi, power outlets.  Similar to the BoltBus, only a limited number of $1.00 tickets will be available for each trip.  Act fast and plan your summer get-away to beautiful Toronto!

Visit the Greyhound for more information and to purchase tickets.

    Hi Yannis,

    The catch is that the tickets start at $1.00 and rise considerably. Its best to purchase tickets as early as possibly to procure the best price.

    My son and his friend got two $1.00 round trip bus tickets (Jun1) from Toronto to New York City to watch Blue Jays vs Yankee on Jun3.
    The bus departed at 9:00pm and arrived at 7:00 am next morning, so they can start sight seeing right away.

    Thanks for the comment Davie. It’s nice to know that those elusive $1.00 fares do exist. I’ve logged on and only seen tickets as low as $15.00– still pretty good for an 8 hour trip.

    How did you son and friend like the bus ride?
