Amtrak

Pros: I liked about the trip is how friendly the staff were, how safe I felt, whenever I asked questions they the staff would answer quick and nicely and how it was a good experience going by myself without any problems. Cons: I don't think I have any advice to say right now because everything went so well throughout the trip. Tips: I'd say don't overthink on getting on a bus or train because everything will be fine, there is nothing to worry about. And if you have any questions just ask around like the staff or people around you.
