New fare structure for the Hiawatha has been rolled out:[URL unfurl="true"]https://wisconsindot.gov/Pages/about-wisdot/newsroom/news-rel/11012023amtrak.aspx[/URL]First time in ages (perhaps ever) that the market has had dynamic pricing. For a time prior to the pandemic they dipped their toe into the water with a $1 weekday upcharge on a two peak trains each way but that disppeared. Beyond that it has been a flat $25 all seats / all trains / all days. Now it will be a sliding scale based on demand and advanced purchase varing between $19 and $31. Hopefully this brigns more total ridership, more revenue and evens out demand just a bit. So far fares under the new system have been $24 on most trains, but looking into the holiday week there's a lot more variation coming.
