OT: Public Transportation from Boston to Hartford

[BUConn10]

I take a Peter Pan from Boston to Hartford and back about once a month. Tickets usually cost around 20-24 bucks each way. Very easy trip and process, just print ticket at home and go from south station to union station in Hartford in a couple hours.

Yes, I do, in fact, live in Texas, but my son goes to school in Boston and my daughter has only applied to colleges in the NE area so I will be traveling in the area quite a bit in the coming years. And while we get more snow in Dallas than most of the state, schools and business shut down at just the threat of snow. Look at what happened with the Superbowl in Dallas a few years ago. Texas is not prepared for snow and ice.

And I sincerely thank all of you for your responses. I feel like a giant coming to a rival's board for information, but you guys have always been helpful. I guess I have kind of adopt UCONN as my NE team when you're not playing SMU. I will never understand why my cousin's daughter (Brianna Turner) chose not to play basketball for you guys. She won ACC player of the year last year, but you guys always bring home the hardware.

There is no direct train is there? All the trains connect through Springfield or New Haven right?

Yes, don't do it. The bus goes from South Station in Boston to Union Station in Hartford. If you're staying a bit further out of downtown then you can get a bus from Riverside (in Newton) to Hartford as well. It's a bit slow but it's usually direct and cheap too.
