RIP the Crimebus (Everyones NYE travel plans just got more annoying)

The cheapest, most entertaining and impossibly fast way to get to NYC from Albany just got killed off by the Federal Government. From the blurb:

The U.S. Department of Transportation’s Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) has ordered Double Happyness Travel, Inc., of Huntingdon Valley, Pa., to immediately cease all intrastate and interstate passenger service declaring the carrier an “imminent hazard to public safety. This order follows an extensive review of the company’s operations, which found multiple hours-of-service, vehicle maintenance, and controlled substance and alcohol testing violations.

I’ve always just outright dismissed any other way to travel to NYC and I’m pained that I actually have to figure out alternative methods of getting down there, not to mention their super relaxed bicycle policy (toss it in and you’re all set). What a shame.
