Left campus at 6:00 pm. It took two hours to get to Binghamton, when it usually takes about 1 hour. And after waiting there for a little bit, we were on our way. After about 10 minutes of heading south, we discovered smoke and a terrible gas odor. The driver pulled over and tried to fix it but he could not locate its source.
We headed back to Binghamton, and after idling for about half hour, the driver came back with another bus. We were on our way in a fully air conditioned, and higher-class bus. Ignoring the "stinky" bus, this is arguably the best Shortline experience because of the nicer bus.
Being already past 9 pm when we left Binghamton, I easily slept the whole way through. I arrived at Port Authority at 1:00 am and got on the train at 1:15 am. Home an hour later. Goddamnit.
ONE MORE THING: THE STRIKE IS ON ...
