Bus Trips to New York From Maryland

If you're headed from Maryland to the Big Apple, whether for the New York Marathon, U.S. Tennis Open, a show or some shopping, you don't necessarily have to depart from downtown Baltimore. Four bus companies offer trips from suburban locations, leaving Maryland between 6 and 7 a.m. and returning home between 9 and 10 p.m. The trip takes around three hours and 15 minutes, depending on your departure point and conditions along the way. All prices shown are current as of November 2009.
