It’s not worth it to me. Besides actually riding the train, I’m doing a decent job making it rain points with the AGR cards.

I’m glad to see some attempt to roll out real food to coach passengers. I think the meal pricing is fair as well. It will be interesting to see how coach passengers react to pricing. More times than not, when we venture out of our sleeper to the cafe car, I hear coach passengers complaining...

Flix saying no more trash bags as luggage. I understand many Greyhound riders have limited means, however I don't think the bus needs to look like a rolling homeless camp either.

Museum will need the laptop.

I'm lucky I guess. None of my utility providers hit me a credit card surcharge fee.

From my perspective as a tourist, who has used the line many times between Philly and AC. Most riders were casino and related employees. With a decent amount of gamblers of moderate to advanced age. One of best conversations I ever overheard on a train was on that line. Two blue hairs...

Last October, wife and I took a day trip to POU from NYP. Up in coach on the Maple Leaf, and back on Empire. I booked business back. Smart move on my part. A lot of the coach passengers that boarded in POU, couldn't find a seat. Stood up the whole time to NYP. Staff in the cafe car was blaming...

Mine starts with W and you can see by my previous post, I got upgraded. Last name ain’t a qualifier.

This weekend I'm making a day trip to Greensboro. Amtrak offered me a bid up to business class. Lowest amount accepted was $7. I passed. I don't think it will kill me to sit in coach for a couple of hours.

Anybody ever try to buy out all the "available" roomettes and bedrooms on a single car just for themselves?

I've missed more than one family shindig over the years due to travel plans already in place. But yeah, I get it, 11 months out is a lot time for curve balls to happen.

Yes, but I was referencing LD rides.

Well living in CLT, pretty much relegates me to the Crescent and Carolinian. I've only had really one outright negative experience on the Crescent. in fall of 2021, everything to the SCA was a bother. I went to use the shower, only to see it was being used as a storage closet of sorts. Same in...

I was less than 100 points shy.

Couple of years ago or so, I saw a posting looking for drivers. Greyhound was offering a whole whopping $22.50 an hour. No wonder they have had a nagging issue of driver shortages. I’ve seen terminal jobs for way less than $15 an hour. Unless of course local minimum wage laws dictate...

I live in Charlotte, and preferred it when the northbound train arrived at 230am, instead of the now 530am time.

I think Select Plus does get you lounge access. I'm close enough to it, that credit card spend will get me there.

You're probably right. I forgot they still use tape drives on the backend.

I just booked a couple of trips. Got the emails, containing the PDF train tickets. However the trips don't show up on the app, and nor do they show up online when looking at my trips.
