[quote=Anonymous]$60 RT from DC to NYC via I-95, NJ Turnpike and Lincoln Tunnel --- with EZ Pass and mostly NON PEAK Hours

(Left NOVA at 630am; arrived NYC fews blocks from Lincoln Tunnel at 11:30)

Less tolls on way back.

Note -- peak hours Lincoln Tunnel on Saturday start at 11 am so depart before then.

You can google each segment of tolls and go to each states' transportation website for accuracy -- MD I-95, Baltimore Tunnel, Delaware I-95 and Memorial Bridge; NJ Turnpike actually calculates it for you; Lincoln Tunnel.

While buses typically cost $40 RT per person, it can take longer - just from the perspective of driving/getting to bus area and waiting.  Also, I have taken the bus (on 2 separate ocassions) with a small child and it can be challenging for a child to sit quietly that long (think of it like a plane ride) without kicking other riders' seat backs.  And most of the other riders are asleep and quiet.  So there is that aspect.  '

Originally we planned to stop off briefly in Philly (for 1-2 hours) to see the Liberty Bell which we could not do with a bus ride -- but we were too tired from sightseeing in NYC.

Also note that parking in NYC will likely run $50 per 24 hours.

For 2 of us to drive -- 4 1/2 - 5 hours --- and 2 days parking and gas --- $190

2 of us to ride the bus and transporation to get to the bus $100 ---- 6 1/2 hours - 7hours

So $90 and mileage on my car to gain approx 1.5 hours in travel time per day and to have more control over when leave/depart etc.

The more people going, the more sense driving makes as opposed to the bus.[/quote]
