Bus or train? Both win.

Each is great at something, and the cheapest one depends on your route.

Comparison dimension	Bus	Train
Fares	Plenty of low-fare options	Often competitive, sometimes the cheapest
Departures	Frequent and flexible	Set schedules, fewer each day
Best for	Short hops and quick trips	Long hauls and big views

Which is cheaper depends on your route and date. On plenty of routes, like Newark to Boston, the train wins. Compare both in one search.
