From my experience (not recent), Amtrak is barely competitive with flying.

From my experience (not recent), Amtrak is barely competitive with flying.
- murderfs 5y agoComparing it now, it looks like it's only competitive if your time is completely worthless. A nonstop flight from Seattle to SFO or SJC is $50, and is ~2 hours plus whatever time it takes to go through security. Via Amtrak, it looks like the best case scenario is $57 for a ride that takes longer than 24 hours?!
