Fung Wah, the bus operator that promised you cheap travel from New York to Boston for the price of sitting next to a guy who keeps hunching over in his seat to subtly hit a crack pipe, is set to reopen in 2015 after being shut down by the feds last year. Hopefully this time the seats will have less puke on them.
