so i'm trying to go visit my sister in milwaukee. and i've always wanted to travel by train. well, to ride the amtrak, it would take 8+ hours to get to chicago. and then i would have to wait another day to get to milwaukee, or take the bus. WTF! you wanna know why nobody rides the train?! cause it sucks! it would cost $114 for the round trip to chicago, and then another $22 bucks for the 2nd day of my trip. the better put me up in some awesome bed just cause this blows. but i don't think i'm going to take the train that far. it's only $137 for a round trip from KC to MIL on northwest or something like that. and it would only take 1.5 hours. ftw
ALSO, pt 2 of the rant. so to take the train to kansas city, it's not a bad deal. about $24-28 for a round trip. it gets there at 2, leaves at 8. so that gives me about 6 hours of bird watching time. not bad. but if i want to take my bike with me, it costs another $10! WHy? do? you? torture? me? pissing me off. why do bikes costs more? i mean, it's freaking mass transit. i would think that you would want people to take their bikes on the train.
