It is definitely not a saving on cost or time, but I don't have to travel too much and the vastly improved experience is worthwhile for me, especially within a 2-3 state radius. Amtrak tickets will rival a plane in cost while taking longer, but they tend to be less crowded. They often have designated quiet cars. There's far less invasive security theater. The seats are comfortable. It's an environment that I can actually relax or work in, unlike a plane, which I find makes up for the extra time.
- spc476 9y agoThe one time I took a train (Amtrak) I found it was nearly impossible to work due to the swaying of the train. The other down side was the return train was a few hours late (Amtrak does not own the track where I was traveling). On the plus side, the seats were large and comfortable, and the food was surprisingly good.
