Apart from Wilmington, which is on the main east coast train and bus lines, Delaware is hard to get around without a car. Greyhound services are limited to a summer-only route from DC to Rehoboth , and local public transportation is nonexistent.

I-95 and the New Jersey Turnpike converge at Wilmington, from where US-13 runs south through the state. More often called the Du Pont Highway , it was paid for and constructed by the industrialists so that they could ride in comfort between their Wilmington mansions and Dover. A direct car ferry connects Cape May, the southern tip of New Jersey and Lewes, at the mouth of the Delaware Bay.
