What is the fastest way to get from Portland to NYC relying on public transport?|179269

What is the fastest way to get from Portland to NYC using only trains and buses? (Without flying, driving, or renting a van or taxi etc.) Thank you.

You can take Amtrak:

The _Downeaster_ from Portland ME to Boston MA, where you transfer to either the _Northeast Regional_ (more stops, cheaper) or _Acela Express_ (limited stops, fast train, more expensive) to get down to New York City.

I would recommend taking the train over the bus for such a long trip-- It is MUCH more comfortable by train.

Hope this helps, and have a pleasant trip.

My friend, Portland, ME or Portland, OR? Which one?

Good luck

Are you in Portland, Oregon or Portland, Maine? It does make a difference.
