I am about to apply for my US Esta and the question where it asks about if the travel to the US is in Transit for another country. I am planning to fly to New York from the UK, stay for a couple of days and then fly onto Canada. At the other end I will get a bus from Canada to the US and then fly home from there - do I answer yes or no to the transit question?

‘Transit’ typically means short-term (usually max 24 hours) travel across or through the a country on the way to another country. If you’re staying for 2+ days you’re visiting, IMHO.

@Traveller yet a garden-variety C-1 US transit visa can authorize up to 29 days of presence in the US. It's archaic, I know, but there it is. The US really puts more emphasis on purpose than on duration.

Answer no. You should only answer yes if the sole purpose of your trip is transit. In your case, the purpose of your trip is twofold: one purpose is to get to Canada, but another purpose, however secondary it may be, is to spend a few days in New York.
