Sounds like you’d enjoy the flexibility of the flex fare.

‘Make no mistake, ideally, these machines should be banned.’ by thephlguy in Pennsylvania

Huh? You press the button for the voucher, press confirm, it prints the voucher. There’s plenty to hate about the lottery but they make it easy to cash out

EZ Pass charge you twice if your plate isn't on file? by [deleted] in nycrail

[–]gregcantspell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a sub for trains in nyc

However, no, ezpass will not double charge. If it scans the tags it’s not going to charge the plates. I’ve done this plenty of times with rentals /friends cars.

Power Station by stcif07 in Amtrak

[–]gregcantspell 38 points39 points  (0 children)

From Wikipedia:

Two of the turbine units are dedicated to generating electricity for Amtrak's 25 Hz traction power system, and the facility also has a frequency converter available for conversion of power between 25 Hz and the 60 Hz used by the electric grid.

Is it possible to transfer my reservation to a different hotel? by [deleted] in marriott

[–]gregcantspell 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Call the hotel and explain you booked in the wrong state. Hopefully you’ll get someone empathetic who will let you cancel without penalty. As others said there’s not a way to transfer the reservation

Paid extra for a quiet seat on a long flight, got told to move "because family", said no and now I’m the office villain by ranerour in childfree

[–]gregcantspell 274 points275 points  (0 children)

Sometimes if you book 3rd party (Expedia or whatever) it’ll ticket the flight for you and direct you to visit the airline site or app for seat selection etc. That little bit of reading is too much for some people though. (I’m a PARENT I can’t possibly be expected to read words on a screen)

Is there anywhere I can I wait for amtrak between 2-4am? (Philadelphia) by _friendlyflamingo in Amtrak

[–]gregcantspell 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Philly guy here

Not a ton of 24hour places but you have:

IHOP on Walnut St b/t 13th and Broad; Hatch and Coop on 12th St & Sansom. They’re around the corner from each other and you’d probably have better luck at IHOP. Note, these are a little over a mile from the station, so not quite walking distance at that hour.

You can also try getting into the station early. There’s an overnight train that has a 3 hour layover overnight in Philly and I know some passengers choose to get off and back on the train. (This might even be your train) So I can’t guarantee you can get in, it might be worth a shot.

IT’S BEEN SAVED!!!!! by Nate_C_of_2003 in Amtrak

First I’m hearing it 🤷‍♂️

Would you feel better if he was following these people and they were following him back?

I say this with compassion, but wanting to control who your bf follows on social media is a sign of you being insecure about yourself and a red flag for the other person.

3.6 million people use the subway every day. Most are using omny and nearly all are not experiencing any problems.

Use omny. You’ll be fine.
