Still, at the far end of the South Station Bus Terminal in Boston, the rival bus lines slugging it out every day. From opposite counters, rival representatives cry, ''Ticket to New York!" And now there is a new bus on the block - the Greyhound-owned BoltBus.

For an extra $2.50, riders on BoltBus, which began its route from Boston to New York on March 27th, enjoy more leg-room, a cleaner atmosphere, and wireless internet access. So far, so good reports Yelp.com user Ben C.: "I hate buses and BoltBus practically takes the bus out of bus, if you know what I mean. Much cheaper alternative if you typically take Amtrak like I do ... or did."

Will BoltBus make life more difficult for the two Chinatown bus lines? Only time will tell. Click here and read the tale of the tape so far.
