Traveling from Northeast Pennsylvania to the Big Apple is simple and convenient thanks to the bus from Scranton to New York City. This daily intercity route connects Scranton, PA with New York, NY, providing a vital link for both commuters and leisure travelers. Martz Bus and other carriers operate frequent buses that make the roughly 120-mile journey in about 2.5 hours. Taking the bus is an affordable and comfortable alternative to driving—no dealing with traffic or NYC parking costs, and you can relax or work during the ride. This guide covers everything you need to know about the Scranton–NYC bus service, from schedules and tickets to travel tips.

Hundreds of commuters from Pennsylvania’s Pocono Mountains region rely on the Poconos to NYC bus each day to get to work in New York City. The Poconos area (Monroe and surrounding counties) is known for its scenic beauty and affordable living – and it’s within commuting distance of Manhattan thanks to robust bus services. Martz Bus is the primary operator running commuter coaches from several Poconos pick-up points to New York City (usually Port Authority in Midtown Manhattan). These buses run Monday through Friday on a frequent schedule tailored to 9-to-5 workers, with early morning departures to NYC and evening returns to the Poconos. For those seeking a convenient, stress-free commute or even an occasional trip to the city, the Poconos–NYC bus is a lifeline connecting PA’s mountains with the NYC metro area.
