====From Boston to [[New York City]]====
Many travelers stop in Boston before heading to New York City. There are many ways to reach NYC including: car, train, bus and plane. Pick the method that fits within your travel budget. Time wise, the cheaper the ride, the longer it takes. By bus, the trip to New York usually takes 4 to 4.5 hours, although it can take up to 6 in bad traffic. By train, it usually around 3.5 hours. By flight, 45 minutes, plus 1 or 2 hours of to-and-from-the-airport travel. '''The most common way is by bus - search for a bus ticket using [http://www.busjunction.com BusJunction]'''.

*'''[http://www.megabus.com Megabus]''' and '''[http://www.boltbus.com BoltBus]''' are two competitors that serve the Boston-NYC route. By booking a few weeks in advance, it is possible to secure a round trip ticket for only $2.50 ($1 each way, with $0.50 fee). Both offer free wifi on board. Boltbus: South Station Bus Terminal, Red and Silver Lines.  Megabus: Back Bay station, Orange Line.

*'''Air Travel:''' (more expensive) Flights to NYC depart from Boston daily. While the flights are relatively quick (about 45 minutes), the tickets may be more expensive especially if you are buying last minute. Also, note that these flights land on Long Island ([http://www.laguardiaairport.com La Guardia Airport] or [http://www.kennedyairport.com JFK]) and will not bring you directly into Manhattan. With baggage claim and travel to and from airports, flying could very well take the same travel time as the train or bus, both of which arrive in central Manhattan locations. Airport Station, Blue and Silver Lines. No luggage lockers / storage are available here.
