Pros: I like taking the train always clean never loud noise and very comfortable.

Jacqueline

27 November 2024- Visiting family

Fort Worth to Austin

Pros: Not much on that trip, I'm sure the Holiday was the reason for the full load. Cons: Although the virus is not as bad, that particular car wasn't sanitized or cleaned before we boarded and just enough seats for those boarding. Tips: No, the trip is usually great affordable. I'm sure it was just a Holiday crunch and priced a little more....
