C&J Bus Lines Launches More Direct Routes to NYC
New schedule begins Oct. 14, adding more daily trips and weekend flexibility for Seacoast travelers
PORTSMOUTH— C&J Bus Lines is excited to announce the expansion of its direct New York City service with a new schedule beginning Oct. 14, 2024. The updated service adds nearly 50% more departures to accommodate both business and leisure travelers, making it easier than ever to access Manhattan directly from New Hampshire’s Seacoast.
Starting Oct. 14, C&J will operate:
- 2 trips daily from Portsmouth and Seabrook direct to NYC
- 3 trips on peak days to meet increased weekend demand
This expanded service provides travelers with greater scheduling flexibility while maintaining the premium comfort and convenience C&J has become known for.
Luxury Travel, Redefined
C&J’s NYC service features 2+1 seating with extra legroom, quiet cabins designed for productivity or relaxation, and a host of onboard amenities including:
- Complimentary snacks and beverages
- Reliable 5G Wi-Fi and individual power outlets
- Personal lighting at every seat
Unlike air or rail travel, C&J offers flat-rate fares with no hidden fees or baggage charges — often saving travelers hundreds of dollars per trip.
Designed for Business and Leisure Travelers
The expanded schedule supports a wide range of travel needs:
- Business travelers can take the early morning coach, attend meetings in Midtown, and return home the same evening — or stay overnight with flexible return options.
- Leisure travelers can enjoy weekend trips to Broadway, shopping, and dining with convenient departure options.
- Day-trippers can experience a whirlwind New York City adventure — leave Portsmouth in the morning, spend the day in the city, and return by evening.
“Our mission has always been to make travel easier, more comfortable, and more accessible for the communities we serve,” said Jim Jalbert, Owner of C&J Bus Lines. “With this expansion, we’re adding 50% more schedules to New York City, giving riders greater flexibility. And with fares starting at just $94 one-way, we continue to be one of the most affordable and convenient ways to get directly to Manhattan, especially when compared to other options, which can cost more than $350 for a single trip. We encourage riders to take advantage of our introductory fares’ discounts on our new schedules.”
