Hi,
Without using a car, how do you get your pet from Boiston to NYC without driving? Anyone have an answer?|||Are you visiting Boston from outside of the USA then
plan to visit NYC? If so, make sure that the pet is
properly vaccinated before coming as required by law.
This way, they are not placed in quarantine without you.
If "car" means any automobile or ground transportation,
you will want to fly from Boston if budget allows for it.
Buses (like Greyhound) will not take any pet if it is
not considered a service animal and requires a person
along for the trip. Amtrak trains are the same. Good luck.

If you're taking the train, Amtrak's Acela or the Northeast Regional will get you to New York City in about three and half to four hours for about $70 to $120 one way.
Now, if that a bit expensive, you can take either the Acela to the Northeast Regional to New Haven, CT where a connection can be made to the Metro-North's New Haven Line to Grand Central. Metro-North is a commuter railway, simular to that in Boston. The one way fare from Boston to New Haven on Amtrak will cost you between $50 and $120, while a round trip off peak ticket on Metro-North from New Haven to the City will cost you $30.
If you want to travel by bus, you can take BoltBus or Megabus from Boston to NYC. The one way fare on BoltBus will cost you around $25, while the one way fare on Megabus will cost you $13.
It should be noted that I would recommend taking any of the Chinatown buses, as their prone to the accident on the highway. There has been a few incidents with these buses on I-95 due to driver fatigue and other factors.
I hope this information is very helpful.
Good luck
Native New Yorker|||Amtrak does not allow pets, neither do any of the reputable bus lines (Greyhound, Peter Pan). I would strongly suggest avoiding Chinatown buses, their safety records are very questionable, just look at the crashes that have resulted in deaths and injuries the past few months (like that big one on I-95 along the Bronx-Westchester border).
Airlines usually allow pets, it'll be more expensive than ground transportation, but you should be ok if you fly with your animal.|||It depends on whether you are going to be traveling with the dog or not.
If you are traveling with the dog, you could always use an airplane. Here are some links that explain how to take a pet with you on an airplane:

If you do not want to travel with the dog, you can always use a pet shipping company! Here are some reliable companies that offer the service of moving your pet to another place:

Good luck and I hope I helped!|||FLY and pay the fee to take your pet with you. Or, pay a fortune and have a pet transport service take him.
