- PaulHoule 7y agoThe economics depend on how many people are going. If I go to NYC myself, it is economical to take the bus. It costs the same to take 2, 3 or 4 people in my car, whereas the cost of the (bus|train|plane) scales linearly. Motortourism works best when you travel in a moderate-sized group.
- jppope 7y agodunno if megabus is still doing it but you used to be able to get a bus from Philly to NYC for $1 (with wifi)

To "explore some of the towns", you really need a car. Our fuel is cheap if you avoid the west coast. Right now fuel is $2 to $3 per gallon, which is about 0.5 to 0.7 €/L and about 36 to 54 ₹/L Flights are cheap to hubs and to some tourist places. You could fly to one of those places, then rent a car to drive out and see some towns. Choices might be Las Vegas, Orlando, Atlanta, Phoenix, Denver, Salt Lake City, and Dallas. To see the country, I suggest driving on the US highways. Those are the ones marked with colorless shield logos. (the ones with red and blue shield logos are high-speed interstates) For a modest extra fee, you can drive a rental car from one airport to a different airport. For example, you could drive from Las Vegas to Atlanta. Note that the hub airports tend to be in hot places. Be sure you know what you are getting into if you fly into a place like Phoenix. The seat belts in your car can become hot enough to cause blisters.
