<p>Hey, I was wondering if anyone could tell me the best way to get from UVA to Duke and back if you haven't got a car. thanks</p>
<p>You can take Amtrak from Charlottesville to Raleigh (no route to Durham, I don't think), but you have to make a change in Alexandria and in DC, I believe, so it makes for a long, but relaxing, trip. I love Amtrak and ride trains as much as I can. If you can get to DC or Richmond, that would be a faster route into Raleigh. And then there <em>may</em> be a train from Raleigh to Durham, but I don't think so. You have to determine how to get from Raleigh to Durham, which is about 35 miles.</p>
<p>My friend who visited took a Greyhound bus. You'll have to transfer in Richmond and get someone to pick you up from the bus stop in Durham.</p>
