Route and timing
- The Thruway east is straightforward; I-490 into the city is the slow part at rush hour.
- In winter, we keep an eye on lake-effect snow bands and adjust the pickup time if the forecast calls for it.
- The New York State Thruway is tolled and uses cashless tolling, so there are no toll booths to stop at.
