There are a few ways of getting to and from the metropolises of the Northeastern United States. My commutes typically come in the form of New York - Philadelphia. For such a short trip the best alternatives, for a car-less traveler such as myself, are train or bus. The rail system, as usually happens, is monopolized. Furthermore, it seems that the monopoly, Amtrak in this case, prefers to charge higher prices and quite a few empty seats than lower prices but a full train.

For thrifty…
