Amtrak
Pros: Comfortable and relaxed ride Cons: Boarding is somewhat stressful as you feel hurried. Not given much time to board. It would be nice to have a train representative at the train station. Inexperienced travelers like myself would feel more comfortable if there was someone who could answer questions Tips: Enjoy the ride

Pros: I didn't have to drive Cons: Your amtrak buses need shocks. Every bump in the road caused the bus to shake or jump. Was not pleasant being jostled. Difficult if trying to write
