Wheelz 0 #1 Posted October 23, 2012 I can't seem to every get a really good deal on Amtrak fare when planning a trip, I'm talking about it being actually competitive to say taking the Greyhound. For short trips it's OK but for longer ones I find it to be not worth it when it comes down to price although I guess comfort does have its price. I don't mind getting some sort of membership of something either to get a good deal if necessary. Insight appreciated. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
youngblaze 541 #2 Posted October 23, 2012 Well if you look at the NYP - Montreal fares it's only 65 bucks. Other than that, I agree, everything is so damn expensive. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Art Vandelay 783 #3 Posted October 27, 2012 Book well ahead of time. Ticket prices are based on how full trains are. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

brokecrazy 15 #5 Posted November 2, 2012 Amtrak has sales from time to time. Go on the website. Usually has to be purchased in advance. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
