How long from New York to Washington D.C.?
1) By car or bus via 1-95 for free (by car, minus gas), or from about $15 to $50 by bus, but this will last about 4 1/2 hours give or take depending on traffic and how fast you or the bus driver drives.
2) By train. Acela will last about 3 hours and Amtrak is slower but faster compared to car or bus. Tickets may be around $200.
3) By plane. The fastest by far. Travel will be about an hour, just keep an eye on how much tickets cost. Some days, it is cheaper than by Train, which is a plus. If you can endure getting into the airport terminal, getting bags checked, the wait, etc., then you're good to go.
4) Walking. The slowest, most excruciating, and most pointless way of traveling to D.C., unless you're up for a challenge.
