Indeed, PHL is the second busiest station in the system after NYP.

Eh, Bolt Bus isn't that bad. Free wifi and power at every seat, and seat pitch comparable to the airlines. Plus a free checked bag and two carry ons. Oh and the most expensive tickets are maybe $30. The demographic is very different from Greyhound.

But if that's too low class there's always Limoliner, at least between NY and Boston.
