Transportation

The majority of commuters travel by car, while Albany offers local bus services. However, its transportation options are not comparable to those of other major cities. Train services primarily serve intercity connections, with access to Metro North and Amtrak. Among the two, Metro North is the more affordable option, but it is only available in certain areas of upstate New York.
