    There's a nice Amtrack passanger seating area in the middle which is better then sitting out with the crowds.

    Good luck trying to get a refund from the MTA. They charge $10 for refunds. Don't they rake in enough with their on board entrapment penalties and making city tickets valid forone day only? Bastards.

    Try to use your credit/debit card when buying a train ticket. Otherwise homeless people will come up to you and ask for money when it leaves the ticket machine.
