Endless Bus Trip is about Korean and Chinese immigrants living in Flushing, NY, who ride casino buses as a way of life. Twice a day, they descend on unmarked bus stops along the crowded downtown streets to buy a $15 bus ticket to the Sands Casino and Resort in Bethlehem, PA. The regulars are known as “bus-kkun” (Korean slang for bus riders). Many do not gamble; they make the trip solely for the free gambling and meal vouchers they receive when they arrive, which they sell on the black market that exists in the casino. A half-day trip to the Sands can net around $40 and for many bus-kkun, this is their only source of income.
