If there is a bus, please use Google Maps to find the specific way to sit (not to help you, but to give you a chance to exercise. Take the initiative to absorb in a new environment in order to master it faster)

You must use small change. One ride is 1.50 (a bill is twenty-five cents), and you can also buy a transfer ticket (30 cents on the basis of 1.50, which means only 30 cents for reversing once, but only if you reverse within 2 hours).

If you often take public transportation in the future, you can get a TAP card, just like the IC card of China public transportation. There is a discount for students.

If it takes more than 60 hours to go to new york by Greyhound (greyhound.com), it is better to fly to 270 yuan (around 300 yuan).

I usually use Expedia(expedia.com) to book air tickets, but I recently found that tripadvisor.com is also very good.
