Ayo Edebiri just gave a shoutout to a very specific piece of Boston travel lore: the Fung Wah bus.<\/p>\n
The Boston-born Emmy-winning actress and comedian<\/a>, best known for her role as Sydney Adamu on \u201cThe Bear,\u201d brought up the now-defunct bus line during a \u201cToday\u201d show appearance Friday promoting her Broadway debut in \u201cProof.\u201d<\/p>\n While talking about how her parents helped nurture her love of the arts, Edebiri said she and her mother would take the Fung Wah bus to New York \u2014 a line that drew laughs from the audience.<\/p>\n \u201cShoutout if you know what that is,\u201d she said. \u201cWe would literally take the $15 bus, and we would stand in line, and we would try to rush shows and get tickets.\u201d<\/p>\n Edebiri said those trips \u201cchanged my life.\u201d<\/p>\n For years, Fung Wah carried passengers between Boston and New York<\/a> for as little as $15, making it a go-to option for budget travelers, college students, and anyone willing to accept a little uncertainty for a cheap ride. The buses were fast, affordable, and popular. They were also known for breakdowns, safety concerns, and the kind of travel stories people still remember years later.<\/p>\n Still, for a certain generation of Boston-to-New York travelers, the Fung Wah was part of the experience. It was cheap enough to justify the risk and memorable enough to become local legend.<\/p>\n We want to hear from readers: Did you ever take the Fung Wah bus?
