Is there a cheap train that goes from Hartford, CT to New York City?

Answer 1

take metronorth to grand central station on 42nd street and park ave. its about $4.75 one way

Answer 2

Nothing cheap. Amtrak will take you from Hartford to Penn Station in NYC but it's between $34 and $61 (one way) in coach. It takes about 2hrs 45min.

All the bus lines out of Hartford to Port Authority in NYC are $48 round trip, $25 one way. Depending on what day and time, it will take anywhere between 2½ to 4hrs.

If you drive to New Haven, park your car in the parking garage, you can take Metro North right into Grand Central Station. During Peak hours, it's $18.50 one way ($5.50 more if you buy the ticket on the train) Off-Peak hours it's $14 ($5 more of you buy it on the train) Just double the price for round trip tickets. It takes about 1hr 45min.

Answer 3

MetroNorth does not go as far Hartford. If you can get to Waterbury or New Haven then you can take MetroNorth and it would cost you around 20-25usd round trip.

Amtrak is your only option for trains. Im not sure what a ticket costs.. my guess would be around 100usd round trip. But it is very comfortable and fast...

Answer 4

Lol! Nothing is cheap in CT. Google the Metro North website, you should be able to get prices and timetables there.

Answer 5

Sadly, no. Amtrak is expensive and unreliable, even on this heavily travelled route.

If you can get to New Haven, you can get Metro-North commuter trains (www.mta.info/mnr) to NYC hourly or more often. It is $14 each way, off-peak.

Your best bet is a Peter Pan or Greyhound bus.
