    @@SoloTravelPOV First of all, you didn't "show everything about the journey" because you didn't take it overnight despite the title, and second of all, learn to be a grown-up and have the confidence to offer an opinion about something. Last of all, why would you ever need to book a roomette for just a 7.75 hour afternoon/evening trip? Oh yeah, to hide from people.

    How can DC Union station be the second busiest?? I thought Philadelphia 30th St station would be number 2.

  • @SoloTravelPOV

    @SoloTravelPOV

    Жыл бұрын

    I agree that it seems 30th Street Station would be the second busiest! In 2022, DC Union Station had 3.6M boardings and alighting compared to 3M at 30th Street Station. 2021 had even less of a difference with only 250K more between the two stations.
