The comfort of bus travel is way inferior to train travel!

• lucb1e 2y ago
  Due to having to sit up? One can also book seats in night trains -- which I've never understood, btw. That only seems logical as a last resort when you need to be somewhere but got no money to get there, when you're planning to sleep the day away at your destination, or enjoy the prisoner's dilemma where you hope the potential co-passenger decides not to "defect" (buy a ticket) such that the seat next to you is free and you can lay down and sleep at night. But anyway, more on topic, I am wondering if the laying down is what you mean or something else in addition

    The seats on long distance Amtrak trains are not at all like you're imagining. Think of them as more like a lounger/recliner. Not the most comfortable you'll ever sit in, but it's reasonably easy to sleep them in, and even more so if you're young. Someone next to you matters only if they snore or smell.

  1) More leg space 2) Depending on train you have a small desk so laptop work is possible and comfortable 3) I don't get travel sick on trains while working 4) Toilets are large, many 5) Bar/restaurant on board? 6) On-off boarding usually happens in city center (From personal experience, not in U.S.)
