I will absolutely never take a bus between NYC and Montreal in my life but I was interested in watching your video. Thank you, you have a talent for storytelling. Keep up the good work!
So cool to see you passed through Albany… our current hometown. That “castle-like” building is the State University of New York System Administration building. My office is in the central, tall tower. The design of the building is based on the Ypres, Belgium Cloth Hall. That sucks about the bus problems in the tropical storm. We would have brought you real food if we had known you were stuck there!
I enjoy bus travel but don't do it often, so I appreciated this video. Also was interested as I am booked on the Amtrak Andirondacks train from New York City to Montreal in a few months from now, and that train journey happens to take 11.5 hours! So congrats to Greyhound for beating Amtrak, in terms of speed, on this route.
I did that once Dan. it was way too long for me. this is the perfect MM and sensor size for this type of vlog. I've been thinking a lot about what combination of mm and sensor size yields this kind of result (perfect amount of aperture, not too blurry on the background. sharpness on the subject. good lowlight performance) while still good at image stabilization like that of Gopro and insta 360. this is it. this is the best set up I've seen it used in real application.
Hey Dan, Long-time viewer and fan of your channel checking in! I just got done watching your video about never feeling equal as an anglophone in Québec. As a bilingual Frenchie raised in the U.S. who has learned dozens of languages, I empathize with the angst and social woes of being stuck at that non-fluent stage. Being stuck in a progression plateau certainly can knock you hard, especially when people are unnecessarily crass and brash about your level not being sufficient to their liking. The thing about French - and I am basing this off of extensive professional experience - is that with the right guidance, you could actually reach fluency and minimize your accent in under a week without the need to even grind that hard. I happen to be a French tutor and speaker of 14 languages in my late 20s & I can teach you for free according to my personal teaching method and style, including my exhaustive visual teaching materials which cover all bases in terms of what you're missing before reaching that much elusive fluency. I'm trying my best not to make this sound like a pitch 😆, but I can 100% guarantee this is nothing like any methods you've previously sampled and that's according to the 100s of previous students (testimonials available) just so you know you won't be wasting your time with a boring tutor. I want to see you document Montreal in all its glory, unencumbered by the existential angst brought on by not being all the way fluent with French - you deserve as much! As a fan of yours, seeing you struggle gives me second-hand anxiety and I want to do my part in solving that problem since that's my actual profession :) ❤ from a fellow Montrealer, Antoine
Very interesting trip. Given the “downtown” proximity of the bus terminals, I think it’s very definitely a worthwhile alternative to flying. Thanks Dan. PS - kinda surprising Greyhound would have a leaking roof bus still in service!
Unfortunately the train route was suspended a few months ago (for track maintenance I believe). It is not yet running again, otherwise this would have been a train video haha
I took this bus multiple times as a student in Montreal. I always hated that refueling stop in Albany. The bus station is so rundown and depressing, surrounded by surface parking lots and a highway interchange. And the food there was terrible.
did... Montréal to Whitehorse Yukon (180$) 4 days and Montréal to Laredo Texas (120$) 2 days and a half I was tough back then, not sure if i would do it again

Thanks, it was useful. Been following you for a few years and love your content.
Loving the videos on this channel lately!!
Thanks!

I just did Mtl-Boston and then back again, it was actually very pleasant! I recommend it.

Please do a continuation and cover accessing the Metro from the Montreal bus station and the nearby Metro lines
Unless it changed or under renovation, it's at berri Uqam metro station and there is an inside corridor to the central hub of the montreal metro
I've always done it by bus, but I'd love to try it by train :)
Unfortunately the train route was suspended a few months ago (for track maintenance I believe). It is not yet running again, otherwise this would have been a train video haha
@@thoughtsontravelandlife ooohhhh! Hope it's re-opened for when I'll go back next Spring!

lol I used to take that to Ottawa from Philly pre-pandemic. Its a different world under there lol.
did...
Montréal to Whitehorse Yukon (180$) 4 days
and

How about Amtrak train between Montreal and NYC
I just did that roadtrip last week. It sucks.
Bus is also better for spontanious trips, because last-minute tickets aren't as expensive as for flights. Another a bit faster option is carpooling.
remember your bus trips in mexico much better in every way!
DID IT STOP IN TORONTO?
No
If only there was a high-speed train connecting NYC and Montreal.
That is what dreams are made of
Do you live in Montreal or in New York city?
Never eat that chicken sandwich they sell at the greyhound station in Albany. It aint chicken, its a sponge!
How tall are you? Those legs look cramped.
Torture 😂
$500!? damn! seems excessive for a bus ride..
@@willybobo8846 $500 was the cost of flights. $150 bus ride
@@thoughtsontravelandlife ah, that's more reasonable.. haha.
