Amtrak today announced a significant fare reduction on the Keystone line, the route between Philadelphia and Harrisburg, Penn.
One-way fares between cities along the route have been reduced $3 to $8, which is, in some cases, more than 50 percent.
Off-peak fares between Philadelphia and Harrisburg have been reduced from $21 to $19 (and from $28 to $24 for peak trains). Between Lancaster and Harrisburg, fares are now $6 for off-peak trains (down from $11 previously) and $8 for peak trains (down from $15). And between Lancaster and Philadelphia, off-peak fares have been reduced from $16 to $13, and peak fares have been reduced from $21 to $16.
Off-peak fares are in effect at all times except between 11:00 a.m. and 11:00 p.m. on Fridays and Sundays.
“With these new lower fares and 10 weekday roundtrips between Harrisburg and Philadelphia, the Keystone service is a convenient and economical way to avoid I-76,” said Barbara J. Richardson, Amtrak Vice President of Marketing and Sales. “And by making fares more attractive, we believe that more travelers will chose the train.”
