    Long distance considerations

    On nyp to Chicago. Was surprised no body is looking out for us. Masks are supposed to be worn but some people are coughing one is coughing non stop. No temperature checks to get on. That's disappointing. I'm going all the way to los Angeles. I could fly for 25 dollars next week. Train costs...

    COVID-19 (Coronavirus) Pandemic: Amtrak-related Discussion

    I pulled up to my hotel on long island and canceled due to no individual air conditioning vents, I could see from outside it was shared air system. Right now shared air systems bother me mentally with coronavirus. I do shop daily but usually in out in 15 minutes. If I can get antibody test n...

Now, that may change but it's likely true or on long island ny we would all be sick by now. So, easiest way to get sick, someone talking sneezing coughing...

    COVID-19 (Coronavirus) Pandemic: Amtrak-related Discussion

    Just to clarify even further, huge saver fare sale today, which has no changes allowed or refunds being a saver fare. This is the policy that began few weeks ago. Coronavirus wont effect this, so another words, you cant buy ticket and expect change is possible. I just got off phone with a car...

    People will steal your stuff on amtrak right in front of you.

    #1 many gas stations sell pocket knives, in San Diego. If you havnt lived there, or even been to it, your opinion of San Diego doesnt hold much value. #2 theft is very common in california. I dont have time to educate you but they made laws so people can break into cars and not go to jail unless...
