The stations, airports and ports each mode on this corridor actually uses.

What the journey actually looks like

Direct or connecting, how far the route really runs, and what happens when a connection is missed.

Direct or connecting

56% of the services we sell on this corridor run through without a change. The remaining 44% involve one connection.

How far it really runs

The route covers 654 km against 654 km in a straight line, a detour of 1 percent. Track and road geometry account for the difference.

Where the change is

Connections are made at Winston-Salem, Greensboro, Pittsburgh, Meads. The gap between arriving and leaving is 48 minutes, of which about 14 is walking.

If the connection is missed

The tightest connection we sell here has a 19 percent chance of not being made on the timetable alone. Part of this journey is a self transfer between separate tickets, so leave more time than the minimum and expect to check in again.

First and last departure

The first service of the day leaves Akron at 06:40 and the last at 16:53, across 6 departures. The return direction keeps its own timetable, so the times back are not these times reversed.

Buses against the other ways to make this journey
