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.
