Skip the Slog of I-95 Traffic

Enjoy Your Own "Mobile Office" with Amtrak

You'll almost always beat the bus from Providence to NYC (or the bus from NYC to Providence) with Amtrak. Avoid congested highways and take in spectacular views instead when you travel from Providence to New York City. The Amtrak Northeast Regional train offers multiple daily departures up and down the Northeast corridor that deliver you from city to city without the stress and delays of traffic. The Providence - New York City route follows the Connecticut coast, offering picturesque vistas of harbors, ships and bridges from your reclining seat.  

The ride from downtown Providence to New York Penn Station on the Northeast Regional train averages three and a half hours, while some Providence - NYC bus routes can take over five hours. And the high-speed Amtrak Acela train will get you there in less than three hours, an ideal option for the business traveler or someone pressed for time.

Arrive in the center of it all. New York Penn Station is in the heart of the Big Apple, located beneath Madison Square Garden, with hotels, restaurants, attractions and public transit options closeby.
