    Well I just discovered the answer to my own question:

    Amtrak Credit Voucher question

    Bumping this topic. I have a $100 eVoucher that expires next month. If I book a refundable ticket and then cancel it will I get a new expiration date?

    Washington DC 1st Street Tunnel derailment 7/11/2023

    Once Amtrak clears the tunnel I wonder if VRE is going to deadhead all their trains to their suburban termini so they’re in the right place for tomorrow morning’s commute.

    Streetsblog NYC is reporting that Andy Byford aka Train Daddy is headed to Amtrak as an executive vice president. This is a great pickup!

    MBTA and other faregates discussion

    People act like going through a faregate to ride a commuter train is some great travesty but somehow thousands of riders manage it at Secaucus Junction everyday, including absolutely packed trains coming from the Meadowlands following Jets and Giants games.

    I had to deal with that with a Costco.com refund and it went through without a hitch.

    AGR Credit Card change (October 2022)

    Something something phone not safe. Something something scary “new” technology.

    AGR Credit Card change (October 2022)

    Or maybe FNBO realized that making people look up a random number during a credit card application dissuaded enough people from finishing the application that they’d prefer to do it this way so they actually open more accounts.

    AGR Credit Card change (October 2022)

    My card updated in apple wallet and Fitbit Pay and now has the new image. Very snazzy.

    AGR Credit Card change (October 2022)

    They mean the CVC.

    AGR Credit Card change (October 2022)

    As I think others have noticed, in Apple Pay it is just showing as a generic FNBO world mastercard. I assume they’ll update the design at some point.

    AGR Credit Card change (October 2022)

    It’s funny that FNBO is acting like 2x points for transit is something new but BofA classified transit as travel and gave you 2x for it.

    Earn 5X Points Promo with AGR Credit Card

    My points posted too. Only 3833. Not sure why I didn’t get the full 4000, pretty sure I spent over $1000 during the promotional period. EDIT: went back and double checked my spending and apparently I was under.

    Seamless fare collection systems in US/Canadian cities in 2022

    I do wonder if they will ever stop naming payment systems altogether.

    Metra could possibly save money by reducing frequency after 8pm

    And they'd save the most money by just eliminating service altogether! Brilliant!

    Seamless fare collection systems in US/Canadian cities in 2022

    Portland's system is awesome! Open loop systems with fare capping just make taking transit so convenient and frictionless. No having to think about whether a pass is "worth it" or not. No having to go out of your way to find a fare vending machine or a merchant who carries a specialized card. It...

    Seamless fare collection systems in US/Canadian cities in 2022

    I think what we're going to see over the next 20 years is universal acceptance of contactless credit cards and digital wallets like Apple Pay and Google Pay (also known as open loop payments) and the concept of having specialized fare cards receding into the sunset. Have already used a credit...

    MBTA fatality incident on Red Line train

    I have lived for significant periods of time in both DC and Boston and frequently travel between the two and when it comes to safety culture I will take the T any day of the week and twice on Sundays over the death trap that is the DC Metro.

    Seattle King St. station, walk to Pioneer Square

    We were in Seattle last summer and did this walk. It was totally fine. 10:30 in the morning you shouldn't have any issues.
