I think the Acela is comically more expensive than conventional Amtrak though. They only offer the premium class seats with comical levels of legroom. I took it once in 2016 (Washington-Baltimore) and it was $45 one way, and the conventional, ACS-64 and Amfleet coaches return trip was $15.

Consider the fact that selling an Acela ticket from DC to Baltimore means Amtrak can’t sell that seat to someone who wants to travel on the popular DC-NYC segment. They price highly to discourage this usage. $15 on the Regional trains is a steal: the MARC commuter train is around $7.
