Their business model seems to be similar to that of OurBus, which also does not operate any of their own buses. Both companies now serve the Ithaca-Manhattan route. OurBus goes to the GWB Bus Terminal; FlixBus (operated by Eastern on this route) goes to West 31st and Eighth Avenue -- half a block from my favorite sliceria, New York Pizza Suprema.
