Take the Bus
If you don't live very far away, taking the bus is an affordable option. Greyhound, Trailways, and other carriers offer service to the Port Authority Bus Terminal on Eighth Avenue between Fortieth and Forty-second streets in Manhattan.
On the east coast, several companies have bus networks that connect the Chinatowns in New York, Boston, Washington, D.C., and Philadelphia. Fares from any of these cities to New York can be as low as $12 one way. These buses are quite popular and can be very crowded, so get to the station early to make sure you get a seat. Check out
