That’s fine it was just traffic that’s all the the driver was nice and he got me where I was supposed to be safe

Some lady went crazy on the bus and got sick so we had to pull over for her- issue is that I have no money for a hotel and no ride home at 1am since I got sent to NY and have to wait to go to hartford. I will be arriving at 1am and have no way to get home. I spent almost $80 on these tickets bc I have my 10 year old and the staff at the counter basically ignored me even though I’ve as very kind but next to tears- one of the staff heard me- turned around and said I’m Going on my break. I had to beg someone to help me. The drove was awesome as they all ate but this doesn’t help my current situation. I purposely bought that ticket to get me close to home so I could get a ride. We left at 11am this morning so needless tod ya- I’m not thrilled and I’m scared bc I don’t know what to do

Amtrak provides a pleasant and comfortable atmosphere with smooth, quiet train rides that are reasonably priced. However, some users have reported challenges such as difficulty hearing announcements and experiencing delays during their trips.

Amtrak Harrisburg Philadelphia recent customer reviews

Amtrak is a train wreck, maybe one the worst run company in the world. From the indifferent bored workers, to the delay, the confusing cost of the trip, it's always something.
