Question Should I drive or take the bus to DC Carnival

How much is it to take a bus from Brooklyn? Are there any buses leaving Brooklyn?

Or Should I just drive? Somebody help me

I'd drive. I did the bus a couple times from DC to NY...at least with a car you have the freedom to get around (though I hope you know where ya going since the fetes aren't all next to each other).

Well I think it's still on Georgia Ave...but the AC fete is at Zanzibar (SW) and Sundays event is Banneker Park. Not sure where the other events are, but I doubt they are within walking distance to each other.

I am from down here and I telling u, it is best to drive down, cause all the parties are everywhere in Maryland and in DC. Non of them are near eachother. Taking the bus is a good idea, but that is if it last resort. Stop being lazy and just DRIVE.

Jet Blue 39.99 from NY. You could fly down there easily and take the stress of drving but it could possibly be a bit late to book the flight but you can always try.

I'm sure it too late...plus taxes...that's toll plus gas money. She'd still need transportation in DC. It's best she just drive. Even better if she can get someone to tag along & split the cost.

I think it's at the Lime.


As for this post, I'd say take the bus, but they DO make a valid point. If you're trying to get to parties and don't know your way around, having a car would be your best bet. getting lost with transportation is a whole lot easier than getting lost without transportation.
