MARFA
Two ways to travel stress free to Marfa from Austin
Two cheap and relaxing ways to get to Marfa.
1: Take a bus, this allows you to use the long drive to catch up on music, podcasts, books etc. Then when you are there camp instead of staying at a hotel.
Here is a bus route:
1.Take the bus from Austin Eastside Bus Plaza to San Antonio Bus Station.
2.Take the bus from San Antonio Bus Station to Ft Stockton.
3.Take the bus from Ft Stockton to Marfa, TX.
2: Another option, if you really don’t have time or will to drive, is chartering a private plane with a large group.
Sounds crazy but since there isn’t a commercial airport in Marfa this is an interesting workaround. Hear us out — If you can gather 15 to 30 people, the cost per person can be as low as $1500. BUT -…It's important to note that private plane travel may have a higher carbon footprint compared to other modes of transportation. We recommend offsetting the carbon emissions and not making a habit of traveling this way.
