I've never used the Chinatown buses, so I wouldn't know where to start, but I'll certainly look into it. They might be a good idea even without the strike since the express bus is $5.
Check out this article (http://www.thevillager.com/villager_97/whatsdriversthechinatown.html) from the Villager back in March 2005. It talks about the interborough van lines and indicates a few Brooklyn and Manhattan locations that might be useful.
