Very sorry about that. I meant 2000s.I remember in the early 2000s the Downeaster went right into downtown Portland and then a shuttle bus picked you up and drove you around the city.. cheap.
Why can’t Amtrak stop where it’s currently stops and then go downtown and drop off passengers there!!!
At the current Portland station - I felt it very difficult to get ground transportation, such as a shuttle bus and a taxi. The taxi itself cost over $20, which was more than the deal of the fare for the Amtrak DownEaster.
I’m wearing my Sandy River Rangely Lakes RR Tee shirt so I it may have brought back in time because I was thinking about posting something regarding timetables of yesteryear.- 1900s .1880s
