Hi All,
I'm planning to hike the section from Bear Mountain Bridge in NY to Delaware Water Gap next Spring, and I've been looking at transportation options.
I'm planning to drive to DWG and then get a ride to the start of my hike at Bear Mountain Bridge.
I could arrange a shuttle, but another
possibility is to make this trip by taking a Martz bus from DWG to NYC (Port Authority Bus Terminal), then a Coach USA Short Line bus from there to the Bear Mountain Inn.
I'd be interested to hear about experiences with either of these bus lines, and also if anyone has made this trip, what it was like.
I've dealt with buses in the past (Concord in Maine comes to mind) where my ticket didn't necessarily guarantee me a seat on a specific bus, and I ended up getting to my destination much later than I had planned. I don't know if Martz or Coach USA are like that.
I could probably save at least $100 by taking buses rather than a shuttle, but I would want to be sure that I wouldn't be delayed by transportation snafus.
If you have any guidance/lessons learned with regard to transportation around NYC, I'd definitely like to hear.
Thanks.
