Trains.
According to Amesh Adalja, traveling by train is at a risk level somewhere between bus rides and flights. While many companies, including Amtrak, implemented mask mandates and started using filtration systems that change the air 15 times an hour, it’s still risky to travel by train as it usually takes longer to reach your destination compared to the other means of transportation, and you’re forced to stay in crowds in busy transit hubs.

Car rides.
The safest way to travel right now is definitely by car, as long as you don’t ride along with other people that are not living in your household. According to Adalja, “If you’re taking a road trip with a bunch of your friends, you’re more likely to be unmasked, and you’re less likely to distance.”
However, you need to make sure you plan ahead of time where you stop to eat, refuel or sleep if you’re planning a lost-distance trip. Still, cars are the safest ways to travel right now, especially because you don’t have to spend a lot of hours in a poorly ventilated bus, along with other strangers.
