Allowing someone else to drive on a long road trip allows a passenger plenty of time to practice such other fun car pastimes as playing with the radio or perfecting a siren sound. Make quality use of your time with today's Groupon: for $30, you get a round-trip bus ride to Washington, DC (up to a $60 value) from DC2NY. This Groupon is only valid for trips from New York to Washington, DC.

DC2NY's bus drivers handle the hassles of the road while passengers enjoy a peaceful trip to and from Washington, DC. Travelers board the capital-bound bus at the northeast corner of 33rd and 7th, then relax during the ride by making use of the bus's free WiFi or by singing "The Wheels on the Bus" into a curling iron plugged into one of the onboard electrical outlets. After approximately 4.5 hours, passengers opt to disembark at one of two convenient Washington drop-off locations: Union Station or Dupont Circle. For the trip back to New York, travelers return to board at Dupont Circle, where DC2NY is the only authorized bus company. DC2NY buses bounce between the two cities daily; potential passengers should check the schedule or their horoscopes for an idea of departure times.
