The cities are derived from the Census's "Cities with 100,000 or More Population in 2000". US cities only for now, though I'd love to hear about Chinatown buses on other continents, if such a thing exists! Some destinations ocassionally appear with their Mandarin equivalents.

The "Download" feature is extremely experimental. Should work with Safari, Chrome and Firefox. Built with D3.js. Code on Github.

Questions? crucial destination missing? supplemental Mandarin translations? please email me (Jeff Sisson).
