Nypost On Disney: Traffic Jams!

[mypriceline.com]

SUN NY POST NOV 18 has an article that people going to Diney will be more likely to take the road than fly creating traffic jams. Also compared three methods from NY



Airplane
Usual $250
Holiday $389/198(with Wed/Thurs)
Risk Factor 1 in 7 million
Drawbacks - Security delays, flying anxieties

Car
Usual $342 w/o gas
Holiday $269
Risk Factor 1 in 5,000
Drawbacks -Impatient drivers, road construction, bottlenecks

Railroad
Usual $448
Holiday Same
Risk Factor 1 in 1 million
Drawbacks - Crowds, something standing room

Interesting article. Will try to get a copy of the Post. Seems like the information heavily favors airplane route. Wonder who wrote the article????

I don't think the cost comparison between the airplane and the car is very accurate as it seems to compare the cost of one airline ticket with one person driving. Most people who drive have more than one person in the car.

So, even if my family of three decided to drive and it did cost us $342, that would be for all three of us.

If we all three flew, it would be $750 according to their numbers.
