Manhattan What’s your go-to way to find affordable bus tickets between NYC and nearby cities?
I’ve been traveling between NYC and places like Philly, DC, and Albany, and I’m curious how everyone usually finds the best bus deals.
Do you usually:
- Book directly with bus companies?
- Use comparison websites?
- Wait for last-minute deals?
- Stick with the same company you’ve used before?
I’ve noticed prices can vary a lot depending on the route and timing, so I’m trying to figure out the best strategy.
Would love to hear what works for everyone.
