Talk:Chinatown bus lines

message: merge, or just make it a redirect. chinatown busline seems more accurate, and more detail. George Leung 05:54, 25 June 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Merge. I have to say this is the first time I've heard the term "Chinese bus" used and I ride the buses fairly often, but if it's a term that's commonly used (which I don't believe it is), a redirect might be appropriate. Ytny 17:40, 25 June 2006 (UTC)

message: The price info un Operation is sorely out of date. I just paid 35 to get to NYC from State College. 67.84.223.220 18:13, 26 November 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: update price info

message: It isn't just bus lines in Chinatowns.  With pickup times coordinated over the web, intercity lines no longer all need to use a bus terminal, and can therby save major overhead.  We should have a general article on the growth of curbside pickup bus lines (there was a good piece on this in the New York Times a while back).--Pharos 19:08, 7 March 2007 (UTC)

thread_title: Local bus routes

message: The article claims that Chinatown bus lines started in 1998. However, I (and my Zhuang girlfriend) rode a bus from Chinatown DC to Atlantic City around 15 years before that time. No waiting room, no rest rooms, no ticket booth. (But we did get $25 free chips at a casino.)
Whether or not this sort of thing qualifies as a Chinatown bus line, it should be discussed as part of the historical background. Solo Owl (talk) 14:24, 24 October 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: History

message: I'm weighing whether to add a paragraph or separate section on the bus accident early yesterday. I hesitate because I'm not clear if World Wide Tours falls within the scope of the article. It does serve Chinatown, but it appears to be a charter operator and I'm not clear if that falls into the aegis of this article. Thoughts? ScottyBerg (talk) 21:33, 13 March 2011 (UTC)
