2024-09-04 00:15:39 +0000 UTCWish they would bring back the Gull long-distance train from Boston to Halifax, Nova Scotia. Would be pretty cool to have an Amtrak long distance train way out in the Northeast!

2024-09-03 16:25:02 +0000 UTCThe general interconnectedness of the Northeast is a huge part of it for sure, since the Concord Coach routes for example mostly terminate in Boston South Station where you can get Amtrak and other buses. But even the rural areas of the East are also just generally more densely populated than the West. You can’t really go for more than a few miles without hitting some small town in any rural part of the East Coast, whereas out west there are a lot of areas with basically no people in them.

2024-08-30 20:21:55 +0000 UTCI took Concord on my Rail Pass trip to go to and from Portland, Maine, to save a segment. The for-profit intercity bus network in the East is nice. On the Pacific Coast, with the exception of Flixbus, most of the intercity bus routes are Amtrak buses. I am actually curious why outer New England, which is not densely populated, has a workable network of for-profit intercity buses, when that isn't the case on the West Coast. My guess is that its a side effect of having a busy rail corridor close by, so there are more ground passengers to start with.

2024-08-30 00:49:50 +0000 UTCI think I liked this video because Maine reminds me of the Pacific NW with the misty vibes. In fact, I've been to the furthest west bus stop in the 48 states, in Port Orford, and I also ate a gigantic pancake there.

2024-08-29 16:16:40 +0000 UTCThat’s fair yeah. I’m not as familiar with their New Hampshire routes so I wasn’t considering them as much. The Maine routes are fantastic in my experience though.

2024-08-29 16:10:04 +0000 UTCLots of comments on this but first: I wonder if Bangor has a larger airport than most towns of that size because it is the first airport coming from the East so flights from Europe get diverted there? ETA: (Seems I guessed correctly: https://simpleflying.com/bangor-airport-diverted-flights-analysis/ )

2024-08-29 16:05:52 +0000 UTCIf I had to gripe, it'd be that they don't have a stop anywhere close to downtown Manchester (opting for park-and-rides with no transit connections instead), but they really do run a great service.

2024-08-29 03:04:54 +0000 UTCConcord is my favorite intercity bus company in the country. Clean and modern feeling buses, decent service on most routes, serves a lot of small towns and high traffic corridors in the Northeast. Does everything right really, in my opinion.

2024-08-29 01:20:54 +0000 UTCI've been waiting for this one since I saw on Twitter you went to Calais/St. Stephen. I've passed through there several times on trips back to the states from Halifax and I love liminal places like that in general. The wildest thing is how the two towns are so intertwined but people's accents flip completely on either side of the border. For true Fundy Foaming you have to go to Burntcoat Head in NS, with a 40-50 foot difference between low and high tide and you can walk pretty far out on the ocean floor when the tide is out.
