I live in Baltimore, MD and am planning a trip to New York for a couple of hours. I only plan on being there shortly, I'm traveling alone and its my first time.
P.S
I'm in college and don't have a car.
The Best thing to do is take the bus. The ride is not to bad. The best one's I have been or seen so far are
Mega Bus
Bold Bus
Fungwa
Lucky Star
If you type in cheap buses in google you will find a whole bunch.
Tickets range from 1 to 50plus but you will pay about maybe 15. The most I have a payed is 30$ and that was the day b4 and the cheapest I have payed in 5$. It all depends on when you go and when you get the ticket. HOPE THIS HELPS!!! BE BLESSED!!!
