the chinatown bus is a super cheap bus that leaves from chinatown in NYC and goes all over the east coast. i took it once from NYC to Boston, so chances are the 95 he's talking about is from NYC to DC.
also, i think this version's chorus, "i am a broken glass...etc" along with the references to NYC, Tokyo, and Shanghai symbolize (for me at least) how this person's all over the world and isn't in one place long enough to form any real connections, and is disconnecting himself from those at home (like how he can't call his friends from tokyo because it's too early still, and how he's finished his day before they've even begun theirs.)
i dunno, it resonates with me, and i really enjoy this song!
