Pros: I was nervous to take this trip never having used the bus or train in this area and having things shut down with Covid. The bus showed up early and as I boarded I was met by a very pleasant and professional bus driver. The drive was easy and then getting on the train went smoothly as well. I was quite comfortable on the train, had cell service and could plug in at my seat when I needed. The train staff was great! I give it a 10 out of 10! Cons: Wasn't wild about the food choices in the cafe on the train. Little to no healthy food options.
