THE COMPLETE GUIDE TO TRAVELLING AMERICA

TRAVEL WITHIN THE U.S.

We’ll say it again: America is big. If you’re planning to go “to” a place, your best bet is usually to fly. If you want to savor the countryside between distant places, and don’t mind possibly multiple days in a car, drive.
...... The American Road Trip is almost a classic cliché. Driving is safe, easy, and cheap (compared to European or Asian fuel prices). Rental cars are available at any airport, but look into an off-airport location (major hotels, for example) as they can be less expensive. For example, if your first hotel on arrival offers airport shuttle service, take that and possibly rent your vehicle from a car-rental desk at the hotel. But check the options and prices.
...... We tell you considerably more in How To Travel America, but the short story is to generally forget trains, busses, or other forms of local public transportation unless you’re visiting large cities. Many large (especially eastern U.S.) cities have a subway, train, underground, or metro system, as well as a bus network, and you’ll be better off using that than trying to drive in New York, for example. Just as London’s Underground ticket systems and timetables differ from those of the Paris Metro, New York subways don’t have the same ticket systems or procedures as do Chicago’s “L” (elevated) trains.
...... The biggest cities in the western U.S. (Denver, Dallas, Los Angeles, etc.) have, effectively, no decent public transport, and you’ll want a car for those spread-across-the-landscape cities.
