BoltBus launched in March 2008 with a fleet of new motorcoaches that feature extra legroom, power outlets and free Wi-Fi service — as well as one-way fares starting as low as $1. The service quickly developed a passionate following among daily commuters, tech-savvy travelers and weekend vacationers.

Earlier this year, BoltBus hit the two million mark less than seven months after the announcement of the service's one-millionth passenger, signifying the remarkable growth and popularity of the curbside carrier.

BoltBus currently provides express service between New York and the following locations: Baltimore; Boston; Cherry Hill, N.J.; Greenbelt Park & Ride, Md.; Philadelphia and Washington, D.C.
