I remember when riding a Greyhound or Trailways bus was a pleasant experience, and then the animals took over. I remember when riding Amtrak was a pleasant experience, and then the animals took over. Now the animals are taking over the airlines ... what next?
Whenever taking AMTRAK on an “overnight” trip, always get a sleeper. A bit more $$$ but no BS passengers, noise, interruptions, etc. Only way to go on an overnight train.
