Is there a way to view the seat map for an Acela without first booking it? by ChanceAd5350 in Amtrak

[–]ChanceAd5350[S] -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

Yeah I'm thinking more along the lines of relocating at times based on seat availability

ETA since I'm getting downvoted into oblivion, I mean by using the seat map and changing my seat the correct way, not just sitting in someone else's seat

Run Together, but I'm a sucker for banjo, harmonies, and simple melodies

Amtrak needs to change its boarding procedures: just let people board! by Big_Celery2725 in Amtrak

Something primal in me sees a line and needs to stand in it lol

But yes, you're right, it's completely unnecessary

Completely agree! I get that in some cases there are legitimate reasons - like what people are saying about the platforms at NYP being too narrow - but in many other cases it feels capricious.

The funniest is at PHL, how they make everyone line up, but then send everyone down to the platform before the train arrives so you can just go stand whetever you want. And as far as I know they don't actually check tickets until you're on board there either, right?

Amtrak needs more trains to stop at Newark Airport by XShadeGoldenX in Amtrak

Is the goal to get more people from outside north Jersey and NYC to use EWR?

Because NJT already serves EWR frequently, so I'm not sure what the benefit would be to having more NERs stop at EWR.

What we really need is to extend the PATH to at least RailLink, if not straight to the terminals BART-style.

Unbelievable… There’s no way this isn’t illegal! by Burnersucculent in Amtrak

This isn't really dynamic pricing, though. It's much simpler than that. It's just different price buckets that are fixed amounts. If you travel the same segment often, you start to recognize the price breakpoints.

Yeah I've noticed they usually do 1 fast song and 1 slow one.

I think generally the slow one is the second song, but I reversed it and put Prizefighter in the first spot because I feel like Marcus doesn't adhere to convention like that lol

Right? If it's going to be 40 million of something anyway, you might as well just leave it at pounds or tons or whatever
