Amtrak

Pros: There was a transfer but it was fairly seamless given the size of the train station. Cons: The price is a huge deterrent. Also there is ZERO flexibility for cancellations. It would really be terrible to lose fare, it should be way more flexible. The trains are almost empty. I often see lower prices for the trip but they just disappear and it is impossible to predict. It makes my weekly commute a real headache. I wish they offered more customized monthly passes at better rates. Tips: Be careful the prices seem to shift all the time. It is really frustrating. These trains are mostly empty. The price is really discouraging.
