Amtrak Vermonter

Pros: Quicker than the bus and the price is a steal, the regular is almost triple the amount. Cons: Nothing. Tips: Make sure you are by the exit door once they say they’re 5mins away. I missed my stop going (among others) due to the train being pack (holiday week). Coming back was a breeze with the advice I’m giving you all.
