If you don't mind getting up really early, you and 34 other people can take a bus trip from midtown Manhattan to the January 20 inauguration of Barack Obama and return the same day, thereby avoiding severely inflated hotel rates in D.C.
The $119.99 per ticket bus trip is being run by New York City OnBoard.
Here is the advertisement I found on the internet:
Bus from New York to Washington For Inauguration
Celebrate Barack Obama’s Victory in Person!
Come celebrate with Barack Obama and Joe Biden in Washington DC. Watch the Inauguration in person join in the celebration. You’ll be able to tell your grandchildren about this one.
Inauguration Shuttle Schedule
Our shuttles depart NYC at 4:00am on January 20, and return the same day, departing Washington DC at 8pm. The Inauguration starts at noon, so you will be there in plenty of time.
Ride in style in the comfort of our 35-passenger shuttles. Much more comfortable than a 55-passenger bus.
How close to Barack Obama Can You Get?
Our experienced staff at OnBoard DC will scout out the best place to drop you off so you can get as close as possible. We can’t guarantee how close you will get to the ceremony–no one can. You may not be able to see much. Security will be tight. However, you will be as close to the action as security and crowd control will allow.
American Presidential History in the Making
Just think about the fact that you can tell your grandchildren that you were there when the first African-American President was sworn in. You will have heard President Obama’s Inauguration address in person. It is sure to go down as one of the best speeches in history.
Departure Location
Meet the shuttle at 4:00am at the Northwest Corner of 50th Street & 7th Avenue, in front of the Toast of Broadway (behind the Winter Garden Theater).
Pricing and Reservations
Tickets will sell out fast, so book today. The cost of the trip is $119.99 per person. It includes roundtrip shuttle transportation and bottled water on the shuttle. OnBoard will be offering walking tours of Washington after the ceremony. Anyone taking the shuttle can purchase walking tour tickets for half price.
