2) Trains
Transportation by train is rising in popularity due to the comfortable accommodations, ease of travel, and attractive prices. Long distance trains have all the comforts of an airliner, and more. You can’t beat the leg room and spacious seating on the Amtrak, for example. Nowadays, trains are fully equipped with cafes, dining cars, free Wi-Fi, sleeping quarters on some routes, and wheelchair accessible toilets. Trains are very well maintained and clean, making travel relaxing and easy. If you are 62 or over, Amtrak provides a 15% ticket discount off the lowest fare. If you’re making a jaunt up to Canada, Amtrak teams up with VIA Rail Canada to offer those 60 and over a 10% discount. They also offer special promotions available to those 62 and over traveling to certain places at certain times, like this 50% off mid-week travel on the Capital Corridor (Northern California railway).
