<p>Hi,
I want to visit my sis this week, but I’m not sure what’s the best way to get there, since my dad is the one who usually drives her back and fourth.</p>

<p>So yeah, what’s the best way to go from Westchester, NY or NYC to Elmira, NY. (She goes to Elmira College).</p>

<p>Thanks.</p>

<p>I’m assuming you are driving, rather than asking about which bus line to take-From Westchester, go over the Tappan Zee Bridge (287 West) and follow 287 West/87 North, the NY State Thruway to Exit 16 in Harriman. Get off at Exit 16 and pick up Route 17 West. You can stay on 17 West all the way to Elmira.</p>

<p>I’m sorry, I meant to say what’s the best bus/train etc to take</p>

<p>sorry for not being clear.</p>

<p>Hi,
I don’t think that there is any train service like Amtrak which goes to Elmira. There are Greyhound and Trailways buses which go from NYC to Elmira in a little less than 5 1/2 hours. You should go to <a href=“http://www.greyhound.com%5B/url%5D”>www.greyhound.com</a> and look at the schedule. It’s important to pick your date of travel since the buses don’t operate the same route every day.</p>
