Transportation Between NYC and Boston

[LizKay]

I might be going to school near Boston but I have family in New York City. I would like to visit and stay over with them every weekend. What’s the cheapest public transportation option for this?

I’ve only taken Megabus before between NYC and Boston, and it would be about $50 round trip every week. Does anyone know any better options? I don’t mind the 4-hour journey. Just wondering if there is another alternative. Thanks.

Megabus and Bolt Bus are going to be your cheapest options. Also, every weekend may not be feasible. Grad school is a lot more reading and homework than undergrad, so you may not have time to make that trip every week.

i think megabus has occasionally 1 dollar tickets if you book far in advance.

Thanks. This is my second graduate degree, so I’m aware of the time commitments, but if it is too much, then I’ll definitely make it every other week. Plus, I know some weekends won’t be possible anyway.

But yes, Bolt and Megabus do seem like my only two options.
