| Although to appreciate the less-populated stretches of Pennsylvania
you really need a car , public transportation is adequate if you
organize your trip carefully. Both I-76 (the Pennsylvania Turnpike) and
I-80 sweep all the way across to Ohio, nearly five hundred miles east to
west. US-30 (the Lincoln Highway) also runs east-west between
Philadelphia and Pittsburgh, past Lancaster City, York and Gettysburg,
while the prettiest north-south route is US-15, from Maryland to New
York State, which follows the Susquehanna River for about fifty miles.
Amtrak crosses daily from Philadelphia to Pittsburgh, stopping at
Lancaster City, Harrisburg and other smaller towns. Greyhound covers all
the major cities and some small towns not served by rail, but its routes
can be circuitous; check arrival times when buying your ticket,
especially if you need to make a connection.
