Getting Around

By Plane: Flying is still the best way to get around despite heightened security. Domestic airlines connect cities to other cities, and sometimes offer discounted airfare on popular routes.

By Car: The interstate highway system connects cities and towns all over the country, making it easy for visitors to navigate unfamiliar roads. Car rental rates are available at airports and rates vary depending on the model of the car, how long you plan to rent it, etc.

By Train: Amtrak is the national rail passenger corporation and operates long-distance travel in the country. However, delays are common and some routes are limited. If time is not of the essence, this can be one of the best ways to view the country.

By Bus : Greyhound is the country's only nationwide bus line. This is the cheapest form of travel in the US, and practical if you want to travel between cities. It can be uncomfortable and slow though, and Amtrak offers similar prices.
