Lawrence United Express

If you think that a $ 40 ride to NYC is more important than your life, then by no means go right ahead and take this bus. I recently took this bus for the first time thinking about how much of a bargain it would be. $ 40 for door to door service from Lawrence to NYC sounds great, until you get on the bus for the first time. As we drove erratically in Lawrence our driver did a hit and run on a parked car, broke his mirror while speeding down a busy intersection and blew out a tire in the highway for driving erratically 90 mph down 495. The last event was the straw that broke the camel’s back. After we blew out a tire, the driver called his manager and he told him to just wait on the side of the road for a state trooper to come and call a towing truck for us. The driver had a spare tire but refused to put it on because he did not know how. Thankfully there was a passenger that was able to change our tire and get us on our way. This took over an hour and a half and after everything was settled our driver calls back to management and ask if he can give us a discount for all our troubles (4 hour trip turned into a 6 hour one). His manager arrogantly replied, «If they want a discount, drive them back to Lawrence». Needless to say, I will never take this bus again.

Overpriced and uncomfortable. They cram as many people in as possible. I’ve taken it a few times hoping it’d be a little better and it gets worse each time!

I took the trip with the family to NYC. Excellent service. Sent cab in the morning to our house in N. Andover, and on the return cab was waiting at the Showcase cinema parking lot to take us back. Didn’t expect that. Excellent service.

I saw one of their vans driving down 290 East today at 6:50 am today. He had a van load of people and could not drive in his own lane. He was straddling two lanes and going between 85 – 90 MPH. I sped up just so I could get the number of the vehicle. I called the company number and they didn’t care about the complaint. If you see these vans on the road beware!

$ 70 trip to NYC Manhattan, from Lawrence, MA. w. 1 stop.
Can not beat that with the price of gas today!
Departures at 3:00am, 7:00, 9:00A and more throughout the day.
Not a bad way to see and experience a new side of life.
