The last several times I have been at CUS, the overcrowded conditions in the coach waiting room have been horrendous. Lines waiting to board trains are out the door. Even those sitting are finding it difficult to get seats where they can sit close to their travel companions. The one bathroom is inadequate for the number of people it serves. Those who know the locations for other washrooms throughout the station find long lines as well.
I would have thought this problem would be only a summer thing when families are taking vacations. However, I was at CUS in September, after school had started and at the end of April and it wasn't any better. Now we are approaching another summer travel season.
The fiasco last Christmas, which made National news, was exceptional for being outrageous. But even aside from that, being at CUS is just plain stressful.
This forum recently had a topic about how to change CUS to accommodate the passengers. It's time for Amtrak to take note and do something about it.
