p.s. And that's regular 'ole Amtrak, right? Not the new "Acela" speedy train? IIRC, that sucker is even pricier.grog want tank...Grog Want Tank... GROG WANT TANK!
The trick isn't to break some eggs to make an omelette, it's convincing the eggs to break themselves in order to aspire to omelettehood. -
$60!
That´s insane!

It's 188 miles from NYC to Baltimore. What would it cost to go 188 miles by train in Western Europe these days?
Just for comparison.

They're like 150 miles from each other init? That's about what we'd pay to go from London to Birmingham, so... no complaints.Comment

I think we have a mismatch on perceptions about distance. The US is a tad bigger than most European countries. Think Russia, not Greece.
That said, I'm surprised that you could get such a great price, since the prices normally are so much higher. IOW, yes, US train prices normally are ridiculous, but the $60 price is quite reasonable IMO.
An alternative to the train is the chinatown bus system, which could probably get you round trip for $40.I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter. It was the institution of the "free lunch" I had struck. You paid for a drink and got as much as you wanted to eat. For something less than a rupee a day a man can feed himself sumptuously in San Francisco, even though he be a bankrupt.

188 miles is 300km
thessaloniki-athens, a 500km distance is 20 euros (24$)
but we have really cheap (state funded) trains
from cologne to amsterdam (270km according to google maps) with Die Bahn it's 37 euros = 44$Co-Founder, Apolyton Civilization Site

188 miles is about 300 km. 4 hours maybe. it's expensive, but not ridiculously so.
I would guess buses are cheaper (and likely quicker too) .CSPAComment

Are all of those prices one-way, or return included?
