Transportation
Planes, trains, buses, and everything in between. Getting there is part of the trip.
How you get around shapes your whole trip, from cost to how much you actually see along the way. Here’s how to choose the right way to travel.
Getting Around Smarter
- Trains often beat flights for short-to-mid distances. — City-center to city-center, a train can be faster than flying once you factor in airport time, and the views are better.
- Book long-distance trains and buses early. — Prices often rise as departure dates get closer, especially for popular routes.
- Get a city transit pass. — Multi-day passes almost always beat paying per ride if you plan to use public transit more than a couple of times a day.
- Rent a car for rural areas, skip it for cities. — A car is often essential outside major cities but a hassle and expense within them.
- Download offline maps and transit apps before you land. — Data and signal can be unreliable, especially right when you need directions most.
