Default Traveling from Brattleboro, Vermont to Bennington?


Hello to all,I will be traveling in a few weeks and had a question before making any further plans. Needless to say, I have looked everywhere for the answer to no avail.Does anyone happen to know how one can go about getting from Brattleboro, VT to Bennington? I've searched Amtrak, both Greyhound and Peter Pan buses and most major airlines and none of them travel to the latter. I did some research and found out that the two towns are apparently a one and a half hour drive from each other. I initially planned to take a cab but realized what an expensive cab ride it would be! =)I also know that this may vary between states, towns and cities, but if anyone has any further advice for future plans getting between towns, where mass transportation does not go, they would also be greatly appreciated!

Personally I would just hitchhike it . You would probably do it in two rides . The first to Wilmington and the second to Benninngton. Walk and thumb up High st / Rt 9 , cross over I-91 , place yourself at the jct of the SB I-91 exit ramp and wait for a ride. .If you do it right it will take you under 2 hours and the ride is beautiful Otherwise plan B looks like this dog ugly thing that goes Brattleboro -Springfield-Pittsfield-Bennington and might take you 8 hours -most of it in bus stationsCall Vermont Transit at 1-800-552-8737 and see what they can do

First, the drive is a little over an hour - forty miles.Amtrak and the state run bus service do not have branches in Bennington. I would contact the VT public transportation agency and ask them if there are any regular car poolers between the two that would take on a one-time rider.http://www.vpta.net/contact.asp
