No Lucky Dragon
Jeff Taylor just emailed me a Dec 4 Washington Post article reporting that "Dragon Expressway & Travel Inc. and Washington-New York Express Tours...have doubled their ticket prices. Fares on the Washington-New York route now begin at $20 for a one-way ride and $30 for a round trip, the companies say."
It seems that the price war was approaching M.A.D., due to the
"hemorrhage" of cash.
On the bright side, that's still cheaper than a Greyhound fare,
which was $45 round trip when I last took it 2 years ago.

The walk-up NYC-DC fare on greyhound is $42. [still more than double Dragon]. If you do 7 day advance purchase it's more like $30. My big issue with Dragon is the paucity of their depatures.
