Uber

The train is quite expensive in NYC. Each ride is about $3 so if you are with some friends and you have to reach a close spot, it will probably be more convenient to get an Uber.

CONVENIENT AND CASHLESS

Instead of chasing down a taxi and waiting for a car service in the street, Uber users can hail a car from any location and have it arrive within minutes. Because the passenger's credit card is linked to the account, you don’t need to pay in cash and worry about the change. Upon arrival at the destination the passenger can simply walk out of the car since the receipt is sent via email.

DIFFERENT CAR SIZES

If you are hanging out with more than three people or if you need a fancy car, Uber is the right service for you. You get the possibility to chose UberX, which is the regular consumer car and offers space for up to 4 riders, or UberXL, which allows for SUVs or minivans to provide services.

PROFESSIONAL SERVICE

Uber cars are later models and well maintained. Safety is guaranteed with Uber since unprofessional drivers lose their job after receiving several low ratings from the passengers

Via

Via is even cheaper than Uber. You share your ride with other people who are going in your same direction and can save you a lot of money. Also, if you are alone and don’t want to get a taxi, this is a great solution.

ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY

Via is essentially a carpool, with passengers all from the same area going in the same direction. This allows to save not only money, but also to prevent traffic jam and more reduce CO2 emissions.

AFFORDABLE

If you are alone, getting a taxi or an Uber can be very expensive. With Via, you can share your ride with other people going in your same direction and pay less. Via charges a flat fee of either $5 or $7 per ride.

MEET PEOPLE

Just like car-based ridesharing services are more friendly than taking a cab, Via positions itself as the more pleasant alternative to the bus. Via is the perfect combination between an Uber and a bus, allowing you to reach your spot quickly while getting to know new people.

Bus

There are plenty of busses in NYC that will bring you to close cities such as Boston! They are way cheaper than trains and will give you the opportunity to visit the state and save a lot of money

COMFORT

Unlike plane travel, with busses you don’t have to worry about layovers or luggage. You can bring with you your bag with as much as you want or need without worrying about weight and liquid restrictions. You know that your luggage will be there when you arrive because it is traveling with you.

LOGISTICS

Unlike plane travel, with busses you don’t have to worry about layovers or luggage. You can bring with you your bag with as much as you want or need without worrying about weight and liquid restrictions. You know that your luggage will be there when you arrive because it is traveling with you.

COST AND EFFICIENCY

A charter bus is almost always a cheaper option than flying. A bus might take a little bit longer to get to your destination than a plane, but the extra travel time is well worth it when you consider how much money you can save while enjoying the comfort and simplicity of bus travel. Buses are also the most eco-friendly travel option. They use less energy and produce less smog per passenger than planes and cars.
