History
Founded in 2007 by Asi Ohana and Richard Green, DC2NY was created to deliver cost-effective intercity bus transportation between Washington, D.C., and New York City. The service expanded in 2010 to include summer weekend trips from Washington, D.C., to the Delaware Beaches and later extended similar offerings from New York City starting in 2013. In May 2014, the company rebranded as BestBus and broadened its coverage by adding seven additional stops. By July of that year, BestBus introduced routes connecting Manassas, Vienna, and Springfield in Virginia directly to New York City.
