Since Ive never taken a thru-way bus (or had to be bustituted! :D )do segments on the bus count as a 100 point AGR minimum? For example, since the bus has to be booked in conjunction with a train, I'm going to ride from STL-KCY on the MORR, catch the overnight bus from KCY-OKC, then ride the HF

from OKC-FTW, then the Eagle from FTW-AUS. Should this be 400 rail points (100x4) or even 800 with double points plus AGR MC double points?
 
If it's an actual Thruway bus - and not just being bus-tituted - then it does give the 100 point minimum.

Example: SAC-SFC - You will get 100 points for the Capitol Corridor train from SAC to EMY, plus another 100 points for the Thruway bus from EMY to SFC! So you will earn 200 points total. Plus if you bought your tickets with the AGR MC, you'll also earn 2 AGR points per dollar for the fare! :D
