I have nothing against students. I have two kids 17 and 24 that would qualify for the discount. As I understand it, students 17-25 can qualify. I find it odd that kids 13-16, who are presumably in school and students too, don't get the same discount. It wasn't too awful long ago that they got tickets at half price but I see that is not the case anymore.
Amtrak isn't the only place that counts kids as adults when it comes to pricing. It seems odd to me that they get a price break when they are more apt to be able to work while kids that are a bit younger and can't work don't get the same price break.
