If you only check your email to see Flyby’s Harvard Today (don’t worry, we do too), chances are you probably missed the announcement to buy shuttle bus tickets to get to Yale. And now…you’re scrambling to figure out how to get there. It’s not time to panic just yet! Because we’ve compiled our helpful list with our favorite way to make it in time to the Game before kickoff!

Forge One

If you can get Crimson Print to work long enough to print your own ticket, honestly, I think you deserve to get on the bus.

Pawn It Off Sidechat

It’s time to start flooding the feed with hopeful ticket inquiry posts. Hopefully, you’ll be able to snag one through DM’s if you have roughly 5x the amount of money OP paid for it. Dire times call for dire measures. It’s the price for not checking your email.

Zip Car

GTA 6 is taking far too long to release, so you might as well try to emulate it with you and several of your friends that you (legally) packed into the back of a Smart car on your way to Gotham City. Just wear your seatbelts, okay?

Uber

Finally, a real purpose for using an Uber! I know your Uber app is tired of chavering you around from the Quad to class, or the occasional shopping trip to Newbury (Seriously? Learn how to take the T?!) This will be a great new experience for you, your app, and the unlucky driver that you'll be in the car with for two hours! You two can bond and maybe become good friends. Just don’t forget to tip.

Private Jet

You can’t even act like this isn’t a viable option. I’m sure there is at least one person reading this article who owns one of these bad boys (I see your Spring Break Instagram posts…). Do everyone a favor and treat this thing like a party bus, flying all the way to the big Game. But with the state of air travel right now… maybe hold off on this one.

Amtrak

Put your headphones on and prepare to think about everything you’ve never been normal about in your life. You will need it to try to forget that you dropped just about a band to sit on this train anyway. At least the view is nice.

Walk

If you really want to get to the Game but are short on methods (and money), it’ll take you approximately 50 hours without breaks to get from Harvard to Yale. Of course, this is only an estimate, but we are confident you could get there sooner. Maybe treat it like a game? We have confidence in you.

Scooter

While the football team itself will not be using its scooters, since they don’t need to fight like (bull) dogs for transportation, maybe you could borrow one of theirs? The O-Line scooters are so high-tech that they practically have boat motors attached, and they cost an arm and a leg. Surely, you will get there before kickoff.

Triathlon (H-Y remix)

Have FOMO from marathon season? Completing your own Iron Man on your way to Yale may be your redemption, then. Start with a leisurely bike ride down to Boston Harbor, and get swimming. Freestyling down the eastern seaboard will reward you with beautiful scenery and incredible fitness. With the final leg being a sprint from the Connecticut coast, you’ll feel like a real winner by the time you make it to The Game.

Join the Football Team

There’s no better view of the field than from the sidelines. If you’ve always had untapped athletic talent, now is the time to harness it. This method also has the added benefit of getting you a free ticket to the game, too.

Hitchhike with Yale Alumnus

Boston is a post-grad hub for more than just Harvard students. Keep your eyes open for any bulldog stickers or license plates on the highways, because they may be your free trip down. Note that it may be wise to wear nondescript clothes, because you’re officially in enemy territory.

Kidnap Handsome Dan

This will guarantee that you’ll make it to New Haven in record time.. And in handcuffs. It also requires a lot of premeditated effort, but the payoff will be so worth it when you’re speeding down the highway with a police escort.

We hope that some of these methods work for you. The Game is truly the best day to be a Harvard student, and we want everyone to have the chance to experience that. If any of these transportation methods go astray, just remember that we aren’t liable… but we hope you get to the Game safely nonetheless! And if it’s chaotic, and if you get lost, and if you end up stranded on the side of the road somewhere in New Haven… just remember, it’s not always about the destination, but the journey. And if anyone is selling their shuttle bus ticket…hit us up.
