even if you have a car, do you really wanna deal with the drive back? let someone else take the wheel, you’ve got tailgating to worry about 🏈

Weekend trips to Philly just got easier!
 @martzbus has been driving the Northeast since 1908, and starting Friday, Sept 25 they’re running DC to Philly every Fri, Sat, and Sun — Union Station to Center City in about 3½ hours, from $39 one way. Fares checked Sep 16.

63 of 67 games are reachable by bus this weekend!!

USC at Rutgers? 42 minutes from New York and the bus is seven dollars. seven. Florida State at Alabama is under an hour from Birmingham. Michigan State at Notre Dame has seven buses a day out of Chicago. UTSA at Texas drops you right on campus, so you can walk in while everyone else is circling the lot. Miami at Wake Forest kicks off friday night, and that bus is eighteen minutes — shorter than the parking line. oh and Florida at Auburn, an hour and change from Montgomery.

fares climb as kickoff gets closer. if you’re going, book it now.

we assumed fall was the quiet season. our own booking data disagreed.
october, november and december are our three busiest months of the year. november beat july by 23%.
and the sunday after halloween was the 6th busiest travel day of the whole year. busier than labor day. nobody calls halloween a travel weekend, and then everybody heads home on the same sunday.
september is the calm one. which is right now. just saying.
send this to whoever in the group chat books last 👀

you haven’t booked labor day yet. we checked 🤨 
good news, nobody else has either!
we went back through last labor day weekend and 38% of bookings happened on the actual day those people traveled. another 19% the day before that. nobody plans this trip. we have the data.
so if you’re still deciding, you’re on schedule. that’s genuinely just when this gets booked.
meanwhile everyone driving has been saying “we’ll leave early to beat the traffic” for three weeks and will be sitting in it regardless. you cannot pre-book your way around the turnpike.
while you’re in there, grab the way back too. monday runs heavy in both directions and it’s the half everybody forgets about until sunday night.

labor day traffic is technically a plan. here are four better ones 👇

brooklyn, mon the 7th. eastern parkway turns into a caribbean carnival, courtesy of @newyorkcarnival. steel pan, costume bands, and feathers you will still be finding in your bag on tuesday. $17 from boston, $8 from philly.

washington dc, sun the 6th. @natsymphonydc plays its labor day concert at dar constitution hall, 8pm. free, no ticket, first come first served. the most expensive part of your evening is the $16 bus.

saratoga, through mon the 7th. @thenyra closes the summer meet on labor day and then nothing until july. $19 gets you to albany. $32 goes all the way up, two transfers, arrives 1am. a choice you are allowed to make.

philadelphia, all four days. @phillies host atlanta, plus the 153rd labor day volksfest. $8 and about two hours, which is less than parking at the stadium.

and the useful bit. labor day monday is the busiest travel day of the weekend, in both directions. book the return when you book the way out.

fares are one way, checked sep 1, so book before they move! by @wanderu

we checked 21,849 real labor day trips to test the “book early or pay” rule, and it turns out, that’s not *always* the case 👀 swipe to learn more 👉

same route, same weekend, very different prices. Some companies bump prices up, some stay the same, some even get cheaper! this is why we love comparing before committing!!

some routes DO naturally climb as you get closer to busier days, especially Labor Day. it never hurts to book at least a week out ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 

luckily, some of the busiest routes manage to stay pretty consistent, which keeps the whole average deceptively chill.

make sure you book your return trip early! Labor Day Monday is THE busiest travel day by a mile (pun intended) 

38% of travelers book the morning of travel, and we’re not judging (let’s be real, we make up some of that percent). but if you want to save a few bucks, book early, compare bus companies, and always use wanderu 😉 by @wanderu

summer’s almost over, but your travel plans don’t have to be!

labor day weekend is the season’s last call — buses and trains run all weekend, and monday, not sunday, is the busiest travel day of the whole weekend on the northeast corridor.

send this to your one-more-summer-weekend person 🌅

he hopped on a bus at port authority. no destination. guess the city before clue 3 gives it away 👀

ready for the answer? don’t scroll before you guess!

he went to philadelphia! nyc to philly by bus is about 2 hours and cheaper than a cheesesteak special.

60 minutes from washington there’s a harbor. 75 minutes from boston there’s the coast. 90 minutes from your car there’s traffic.

four places you can reach before a load of laundry finishes, and what they cost when we checked this morning:

new york → new paltz, about 90 minutes, from $26
milwaukee → madison, about 90 minutes, from $22
boston → portsmouth, about 75 minutes, from $18
washington → baltimore, about 60 minutes, from $10

save this and pick one on friday!
