Fair enough its your life and choice but i'd never bus. If it was too much I just wouldn't go.
I couldn't sit for that long.
Flying isn't really an option. I'd drive most of the time now, the other choice is not to schedule the bus ride not when it's liable to hit holiday traffic. And an impending snowstorm. They're express buses from here to NYC, $30, for a bit under 4 hours. Faster if it take local roads in Manhattan, but it has no other choice. I wish it just dropped off at a commuter rail station. Madrid's long distance bus station is placed in someplace sane. As in next to a highway instead of gridlocked local roads.

But why? its not even expenaive for one person like its £80 to fly to Washington and back from New York?? I honestly wouldn't get in a bus for 4 hours when you could be there in 30 minutes on a plane.

Or is there an airport near you?
Nearest airport is a 45 minute drive away, NYC is only 130 miles further. If I want to get to the city parts of NYC from Newark / JFK, it's another 40 minutes of public transit or cab. Trains make more sense at that distance than flying. In any case, it's a small airport that does not have £80 round trip flights. Even if it did, that's more than I'd like to spend if there's a cheaper way, the distance isn't far. My budget is limited, and I could spend on other things.
About twice as many people take a train from DC to NYC than fly as it's more convenient. And about the same take a bus from DC to NYC because it's cheap. Including one of George Bush's daughters [well Baltimore]:
I will never understand how people like this exist, with no conciousness of humanity.
