Com. com. com. com. com. Getting around Distances in the US are so great that it’s essential to think carefully in advance about how you plan to get from place to place. Your choice of transportation will have a crucial impact on your trip. Amtrak provides a skeletal but often scenic rail service, and there are usually good bus links between the major cities. But even in rural areas, by adroit advance planning, you can usually reach the main points of interest without too much trouble by using local buses and charter services.

Rough Guides regard travel, overall, as a global benefit, and feel strongly that the advantages to developing economies are important, as is the opportunity of greater contact and awareness among peoples. But each of us has a responsibility to limit our personal impact on global warming, and that means giving thought to how often we fly, and what we can do to redress the harm that our trips create. Flying and climate change Pretty much every form of motorized travel generates CO2 – the main cause of human-induced climate change – but planes also generate climate-warming contrails and cirrus clouds and emit oxides of nitrogen, which create ozone (another greenhouse gas) at flight levels.

Reservations, which can be made in person at the station, online, or on the toll-free number, are not essential, but recommended – if a bus is full, and you don’t have a reservation, you may be forced to wait until the next one, sometimes overnight or longer. It’s best to arrive at the bus station an hour or so before travel in order to check in. Fares on shorter journeys average out at about 15¢ per mile, but for longer hauls there are plenty of savings available. Check the website’s discounts page.
