Pros: My destination was Folsom leaving from Chico with bus to Sacramento then the Zephyr to Roseville. From there I had planned on a transit bus south to Folsom. No such service available. Ended up discovering the Sacramento Light-rail. I skipped the Zephyr and rode the light-rail from the Sacramento Amtrak station to my destination in Folsom. What a bargain. Half price for seniors cost $1.25. Amtrak ticket was $24.00 Total trip was way less than half if what I expected to pay. Cons: Amtrak should match ridership with tickets sold on their bus links. No way was the trip profitable with just two passengers. A full size bus, fuel and a driver for at most $50 in fares is not a wise business practice,.
