Reply to comment by cleverdawny in Passengers stuck on Amtrak Auto Train after freight derailment causes 'significant delays' by FlashingSlowApproach

Just as a quick example:

Newark to Miami from 2/13/23 - 2/17/23

by Plane:

$90-$220 in 3-6 hours

By Train:

$130 - $660 in 27-31 hours.

Amtrack won't let me link it.

Go here for NWK -> MIA

So yeah you live in a big city

Amtrak is far more useful for people who don't live within driving distance of major airport hubs. I would have to drive two hours to a regional airport, go through security, then take a flight. Doesn't even end up saving that much time
