Testing the Caltrain canary?

Can you give me a source about buying a ticket to ride Ambus without using rail ticket? I've been using a loophole for a while- buy bus on first segment and then rail on second segment to avoid cancellation.

When I used to live in New Mexico, everyone are talking about MVD with snail speed. You'll have to bring 2 billings/paycheck to show proof of residence, notarized birth certificate, social security card, and a filled out application. A lot of them weren't prepared for that. Plus MVD (same...

Are those Clippers were used flying between Port of Miami and Bahamas by Chalk's Airlines? I've seen that type of airplane, either in Miami or Bimini Island. It was pretty cool to watch the plane landing and take off.

Thanks FunNut! I used to live in eastern NM so I've taken all three stations- ABQ, Lamy, and Las Vegas. I would use ABQ if I'm taking Amtrak one way and fly other way. Both Lamy and Las Vegas and their own surrounding areas are very fascinating to explore. ABQ is meh.

I used to live in eastern NM where sandstorms are common. It's one of several common jokes to visitors or newcomers. Occasionally, we'll get haboobs. Desert dwellers know when to seek shelters.
