I'd like to take the Megabus to NYC from Philadelphia. Concerning traffic... there will always be comparable high traffic in the metro area. However, I thought, the peak hours to drive into Manhattan with a bus, would be the worst in the time between 8-9 am. If I would take the bus departing at 8 am in Philadelphia, I would probably arrive after 9 am in the metro area, thus avoiding the most of the bad traffic?

Best, Stephan

While bad luck is always possible with bus traffic, I've found Megabus's scheduled arrival times to be pretty accurate between Philly and New York. At morning rush hour they use the bus-only lane for the last ~3 miles before the Lincoln Tunnel, so you zip past the cars stuck in traffic and it ends up being only a few minutes slower than at other times.
