Safest way to travel from NYC to Seattle

Need advice,

My uncle wants to go to Seattle to get his license. He asked me to drive him since I have a NM license but the drive is very long, and I have to admit I am kind of scared.

What is the safest way for him to get there. Bus, train, or plane?

When I went to NM, I went by airplane. But our circumstances are a bit different, I have a passport, a SS card, although it's no longer valid, and I have a college ID. My uncle on the other hand does not speak a word of English, has an expired passport ad no other ID whatsoever. I promised to accompany him to get his passport renewed and help him get there but I'd really hate to drive him there.

Would flying be ok? Bus, train?

flying is definitely the fastest. dude i say take the bus. i would be scared to if i was you

Why can't he get a new passport from the consulate?

make sure you have all the required documents, Washington ask for documents than New Mexico.
