Eco Summer Travel: The Greyhound bus to New York City and Back


Once again I was off to New York City with family for a short summer getaway. While the shopping is nice, I can't wait to visit the historical sites and museums. This year we visited The Metropolitan Museum of Art, The Ukrainian Museum, and the main branch of the New York Public Library. We stayed in Brooklyn and took the subway into Manhattan every morning. What an urban transportation system! And talking about transportation, I considered driving or flying to New York City but in the end, we went on a Greyhound bus again. When riding the bus, one really gets a sense of the vastness of the continent, the worries of driving are left to someone else, it’s an ecological responsible way of travelling, and it provides a rare opportunity to read and relax for 10 hours.
