<p>Anyone have any insight on the transportation options for getting from UD to BWI (Baltimore Airport). Son is flying out of BWI in Oct and I am trying to figure out how to get him there.</p>
<p>Well, there’s Delaware Express [Delaware</a> Express Shuttle Reservation System](<a href=“http://delexpress.hudsonltd.net/res]Delaware”>Reservations - Delaware Express), though I’ve had my D use it and I believe it is quite costly for one person.</p>
<p>He can take Amtrak to Philadelphia then hop on a Northeast Regional Train which has a stop at BWI.</p>
<p>There’s one Amtrak train a day that stops in Newark on its way south, but I think it’s only in the evening. If he can get a ride to Wilmington (or take the bus there), there’s no need to backtrack all the way to Philadelphia. Trains run from Wilmington many times a day to BWI.</p>
<p>Silly me - the train that takes you to Philly continues on to BWI, so no need for a train switch. I think there are 2 a day now out of Newark on weekends, but nothing in the a.m.</p>
<p>Newark to Philly to BWI is one train? They are in different directions. I’d check that.</p>
<p>I’ve used Delaware Express for DD to get to PHL and to Amtrak in Wilmington (when time didn’t work out for Newark Amtrak). It is costly but reliable.</p>
<p>I’m told there’s a ride board on campus and that you can get a ride to various places by other students for a lot less money. We never tried that. Now that DD is a soph, I think she knows more people with cars. Hopefully, she’ll be able pay a friend for a ride to Wilmington rather than other private transportation.</p>
<p>What I meant to say is, the same train that stops in Philly continues to Newark and then on to BWI. Here’s the Newark Station Schedule that I got off UD’s website.</p>
