How is everyone getting there? Driving, train, bus? I would carpool if anyone is headed from NYC/Long Island area.

crazy to think that if this hadn't been frigging postponed... we would have seen a coldplay concert 2 days ago....

SwallowedInSea · 17-07-2008, 01:54 AM

Just thought this deserved a bump up...

. I guess I'm kind of glad the date got pushed back, because now we still have something to look forward to!
I can't wait!!

So who here knows the best way to get to Hartford from Long Island?

Here are the options I've figured:

PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION OPTIONS:

Bus from NYC to Harford:
-Take bus from 32nd St to Hartford (Boston Deluxe bus)
-Take bus from Hartford to Port Authority (Peter Pan bus)
Costs: $17(Boston Deluxe), $27 (Peter Pan). Total : $44.
Time: 2 hrs (1st bus), 2hrs 30mins (2nd bus)

Pros: Easy, no transfers. Cheapest(public transportation wise)
Cons: Only way to get back is to take 12:30am bus which would arrive at NYC at 3:00am

Port Jefferson Ferry to Bridgeport to Hartford
-Take Port Jefferson Ferry to Bridgeport,
-Take train at Bridgeport to New Haven
-Take train at New Haven to Hartford
Trip back to NY
-Take bus from Hartford to Port Authority

Costs: $17(ferry), $6RT(1st train-Metro North), $11 or $16(2nd train-Amtrak), $27 (bus) Total: $61 or $67
Time: 1 hr 15 mins (ferry), 28 mins (1st train), 41 to 56 mins(2nd train), 2 hr 30 mins (bus)

CONS: Only way to get back is to take 12:30am bus which would arrive at NYC at 3:00am, a lot of transfers and time. Costs a lot of money.

DRIVING:
Nassau County to Hartford, CT
Through Throgs Neck Bridge to I-95

Costs: $5 or $10(bridge), toll on I-95? Parking in Hartford: $10 to $15. Gas.
Time: 2 hours, assuming no traffic. lol.

Pros: Quickest, don't have to worry about catching bus or train. Can go to Ikea Hartford, lingonberries and meatballs.
Cons: You have to drive, the environment.

unfortunately, it looks like the easiest way to get there is to drive. I would be open to carpooling with some people on this board, it'll be fun, cost-effective, and more environmentally friendly.

PM me, if you are interested in carpooling. We can all meet up somewhere.
