I'm look for some information about getting transportation from NYC to Scranton, PA(or at least somewhere reasonably close.)
I've heard about 'Chinese' services that cost like $10, but anything(preferably) $20 or leas would be great.
I need information like, phone number, website, price and location as I hope none are too far from Penn station.
Any Help will be appreciated.
Yeah, to be honest, Scranton seems to be a bit out of the way. I'm not finding anything in your price range going to Scranton. If your destination was a more popular one, you'd see that reflected in cheaper ticket prices.

Agreed. The Chinatown buses only discount when they have an incentive to -- which is that they are competing with many other companies travelling to the same place and there are hundreds/thousands of passengers who want to travel to that place on a daily basis. Like Boston and DC.
I know of a company that would take you to Scranton for around $30 - $35 but definitely not from Penn Station, you would need to make your uptown to be picked up. It is supposed to be a door to door service but they work mostly from uptown and in the Bronx.
So I was curious and did a little web research if you book ahead of time and do web tickets you can get greyhound tickets for about $20 each way directly from NYC to Scranton, PA and the trip takes a little under 3 hours each way. I think that's your best bet. Not sure where it leaves from in NYC though.

It could be "Nearby." Anything as far as Wilkes-Barre or even Hazelton.

Could you provide me with information to the company?
