The old benefit of Amtrak is that you could count on your arrival time into any major large city, as opposed to buses, which were often late due to traffic. Lately Amtrak has been failing this with repeated track delays, washouts due to rain, and other track problems. For me this has removed a great deal of its benefit, at least in the northeast corridor where I usually travel.

The first time they sent a new train (we boarded it using planks laid across the tracks) and the second time they sent a new engine car. Otherwise, yes Amtrak has been more reliable than Megabus/Boltbus =)
