Amtrak's RideReserve program starts next week. I would think it would be annoying to have to make reservations for each and every trip you want to take, and it would be an extra step if you got stuck at work and had to take a later train, if space was available. I guess it's necessary nowadays with social distancing and limited capacities. At least they updated the app with this feature.
Fortunately, RideReserve is only for reserved trains and my primary route, the Surfliner, is unreserved. As I understand it, they are only selling 50% of the seats on the Surfliner and have only hit that limit a handful of times recently.
