New England is not a land of wide open spaces, so transportation by car, bus, train, plane and boat is relatively easy.

Much of the traffic coming to the region comes by way of New York City. Also, Boston is a transportation hub. Here's how to choose among car, bus, train and plane for travel between New York and Boston.
