Talking about the “bucketing” where they first sell x% of tickets at a cheap price, then the next x% at a higher price, and on and on until its expensive as shit.

This is really demoralizing as someone who’d like to be a bit more spontaneous, and be able hop on a train out of town (which is running either way and never full…), the price I get offered is like double the price if I booked 3-4+ months out.

There must be a better system.

    I’m even considering the notorious intercity buses because Amtrak’s pricing is so fucked.
