Travel

[Guest]

Hello,

I'm 15 and planning on running away. I have done some researching and it seems like most bus and train companies require either permission from a parent or guardian if you are a minor or they require a photo ID (which I don't have) to travel out of the city or state. Traveling by foot or bike won't get me very far very quickly. I don't know of any other good ways of getting around. Do you know how I could get far away in a timely manor?

Hi,
Thanks for reaching out; we are glad that you did.
It sounds like you have done your research, and it is correct that you cannot travel interstate alone unless you can prove that you are 17 or with parental consent. And travel by foot is very, very dangerous.
