REASONS TO USE ADVENTURE NORTHEAST TRANSPORTATION INSTEAD OF THE TRAIN:

Our transportation times are set to the ferry arrival and departure times, the train times are not even close.

We pick up and drop off at the ferries direct; the train requires another form of transportation to get you to the MV ferries.

If the ferry is late getting in we will wait for you, the train will be long gone and you will have to wait hours for the next train (if they even have seats).

If the train gets delayed, which it usually does, you will miss your ferry. If we hit traffic, we have GPS to get you to your destination quickly by an alternate route.

We are the least expensive and fastest way to get to and from the ferries and Newport.
