By Plane and Train.

The airplane is the handiest and fastest mean of transport to cross the nation,due to the vastness of the Country. The national companies-American airlines and Continental airlines are the principal ones-which join the 50 states with frequent flights.For those people who want to fly often across the whole U.S using always the same company there are reduction and easy terms on the price of the tickets;these special ones which allow that condition are purchasable by the tourist in their own country before leaving it.The train,once more widespread than nowadays,has been decreased,although the nation has a railway network of 220 thousand kilometres.The principal ones which cross the nation from north to south and from east to west meet on Chicago’s railway junction and less frequently on St.Louis’one;some of them,New York-Washington,are faster and cheaper than the airplane.

By Bus and Car

Travelling by bus is the traditional way to run through America,especially for those people who have a lot of spare time and a low economic budget at disposal.The buses which reach almost all the U.S destinations are comfortable and equipped with air-conditioned and belong to Greyhound,an historic national transport company.In that case is also possible to save up money buying in your own country before the departure,the Ameripass,a travel card which can be valid 1 or more days. Many tourists instead decide to discover the american wonders by car. It is possible to rent a car before leaving your country or directly on the place.The most important rent agencies offer fully equipped car in good conditions but require a minimum age that shifts from 21 to 25 years old according to each state.It is also useful to notice that the american cars haven’t a manual transmission but an automatic one and that you have to drive on the right side of the road
