Reply to comment by Beckam4434 in Train to Philly Pricing by Beckam4434

Amtrak is dirt cheap if you plan more than a month in advance. Once trains start to fill up, the prices skyrocket and it is really expensive.

Bingo. I did this same trip OP is planning last summer for like $30 round trip, but bought the tickets a month or two ahead of time.

You really cannot beat that price, driving you’d pay more for gas and parking. You might find a cheaper bus but the experience will be way worse.

My wife and I did DC to NYC for $124 round trip, two people. If we drove to NYC, that would be more than parking alone, let alone the $50 in tolls and then gas on top of that. And the train is cheaper and less stressful.
