Here's to acting on "strange sensations" and avoiding catastrophic results.
Though Fung Wah is notoriously suspect in its safety standards, you gotta be impressed that after at least one bus rollover (while traveling at excessive speeds on a ramp) and a spontaneous vehicle fire (faulty wiring -- apparently not their fault), nobody's actually perished in the company's eight-year history. Still thinking of making the switch to Greyhound (yes, they offer the same $15 one-way Boston-NYC ticket online)? Think again.

By the way, the Globe article seems to have at least two major mistakes. The earliest Fung Wah bus leaves daily at 7 a.m. So as much as FW drivers have busted nuts breaking speed limits in the past, traveling 200 miles in 40 minutes is a bit of an overstatement. I imagine the TV report is correct with the bus heading to NYC from Boston, and pulling off the highway after 20 miles.
Claudine you took that bus to Boston?
Thank you for this--my acupuncturist in Boston was just trying to convince me to take the Fung Wah bus, and I was like, we-ell.....
Go with the gut!
