Traveling By Bus Just Became Cheaper

As of Dec. 15, you’ll be able to get back and forth from Hartford to New York or Amherst, Massachusetts for as little as $1.

Megabus.com is expanding its New York service to Hartford and will make five departures per day to New York and two daily departures to Amherst.

Travelers who act quickly could get a free trip. Megabus.com is offering 1,000 free seats for rides to and from Hartford and Amherst between Dec. 15 and through Jan. 15.

But you don't need the deal to travel on pocket change. Fares start as low as $1 and get higher as the traveling date gets closer.

The Hartford stop is located on the corner of Arch Street and Columbus Boulevard.

To get the free deal, use the promo code NEWNYC when you book your tickets online.
