Wifi buses from NYC to Atlantic City?

September 4, 2009 5:16 AM

Does anyone know of any wifi-enabled buses from NYC to Atlantic City?

I know about ACES, but it is only for weekends and it is relatively expensive. I'm looking for something more like the Bolt bus.

Many Greyhound buses now have wifi. I don't know about that specific route.

The last time I took the regular old Greyhound to AC the bus had wifi. But I think it's YMMV, since only the newer buses have it.

Response by poster: The Greyhound site doesn't list the AC route as having the new buses, but there was a post at Jaunted that says they got one of the newer ones for an AC trip. So far it's not looking like a very reliable option, but maybe it's all there is for now.

I frequently take the Megabus between Chicago and Detroit. It's cheap, clean, and not full of crazies. And most/all of their buses have free wifi. Their route planner says they go from New York to Atlantic City.

Just came in here to suggest Megabus. Note that their AC tickets are only sold as roundtrips, and they will drop off and pick up at about 6 spots. Check their website for more info on that.

Response by poster: Went to check out the Megabus, but apparently the AC route is subcontracted (or something) thru Academy buses, with no power or wifi.
I'd probably settle for just having a reliable power outlet at this point.
