WASHINGTON - May 20, 2009 - The discount runs from June 2 through Sept. 3. It applies to
those taking regional trains on the Northeast Corridor which runs
from Washington to Boston. The discount also is available from
Washington to Newport News, Va.
In addition, Amtrak is extending a February price cut on its
higher-speed Acela service, which runs from Washington to Boston.
Passengers must make reservations two weeks in advance to get
the lower fares.
Amtrak carried a record 28.7 million passengers last fiscal
year, but ridership is down this year as businesses cut back on
travel and because of lower gas prices.
