[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Frequent visitor to Williamsburg here. No way you can do it without a car if you want to go to Busch Gardens. They have some buses but nobody rides them. It is America you need a car. [/quote]

I mean, my daughter is a W&M student and doesn’t have a car. Which isn’t unusually for students who live on campus, because parking is so hard to find, even if you can get a parking pass.  Most underclassmen with cars pay for off campus parking— and some bus to their car.  She bikes and takes the bus everywhere and says the Williamsburg bus system is clean, safe and efficient.  She and half her dorm just walked to the AmTrak station to come home for spring break ($20 each way if buy tickets further out).  When our 3rd family car frees up next year, we offered it to her and she declined. Said it was much more of a hassle than she wanted to deal with and she was taking the bus for shopping and eating out. In 2 years, she’s needed to Uber once— when she had an MD appointment scheduled very tightly after a class.

OP: I’d Amtrak and walk unless you are aged or infirm. But, I hate I95 with a passion, and once sat in traffic for six hours to get to WM when there was a semi overturned. If you stay in a Colonial Williamsburg Resort, you can walk, rent bikes and/or bus where you need to go.  Just Uber to Busch Gardens. I bet you come out ahead once you pay for gas and parking.
