BOXCAR CEO
There’s a nice new mode of transport in these parts! We spoke with Joe Colangelo, the very nice CEO of Boxcar, who introduced us to a more comfortable bus ride that takes commuters from the New Jersey suburbs all the way to Manhattan’s EAST SIDE. It’s the only bus service we know of from New Jersey that offers this route, and people are loving it! But that’s not all they do. Tune to meet the Joe Colangelo and learn what Boxcar is all about.
Tune in to learn about:
- The buses from NJ to NYC
- Find a parking spot near transportation
- Knife sharpening (yes, they offer that service)
- Grill cleaning
- Auto detailing (cleaning, not lightning bolts, Rachel)
- The future of Boxcar
