Rail is a reliable, comfortable and affordable way of travelling in the US. Amtrak trains serve Tucson via the Sunset Limited line, which runs between Orlando, Florida and Los Angeles. The Amtrak train station in Tucson is located in El Presidio Historic District.

Bus travel is the most affordable but least comfortable travel option. Greyhound buses connect Tucson, directly or indirectly, with almost all towns and cities in the United States.
