Amtrak multi-ride travelers can now save up to 40 percent on the cost of their monthly tickets and 50 percent for 10-ride tickets on all Northeast Regional trains, between Boston and Virginia.
The discount program incorporates part of the latest customer amenity, Amtrak RideReserveSM, which allows customers who purchase monthly, ten-ride and six-ride multi-ride tickets to confirm their trip prior to boarding on the Amtrak apps and on Amtrak.com or before departure at a staffed ticket window.
"When you combine essential safety measures with up to 50 percent savings, it's truly a win-win for travelers," said Roger Harris, Amtrak Executive Vice President and Chief Marketing and Revenue Officer.
"We remain committed to safeguarding the travel experience with enhanced safety and cleaning measures."
Prices for the following trips are as low as:
City Pairs | Price | City Pairs | Price |
Boston – Kingston, RI | Monthly- $432 10-Ride - $173 | Wilmington – Washington, D.C. | Monthly- $876 10-Ride - $350 |
Philadelphia – New York City | Monthly- $960 10-Ride - $384 | Washington, D.C. – Richmond, VA | Monthly- $522 10-Ride - $232 |
New York City - Wilmington | Monthly- $1,104 10-Ride - $442 | Washington, D.C. – Ashland, VA | Monthly- $504 10-Ride - $224 |
Newark, NJ - Philadelphia | Monthly- $960 10-Ride - $384 | Washington, D.C. – Fredericksburg, VA | Monthly- $378 10-Ride - $168 |
Philadelphia – Washington, D.C. | Monthly- $948 10-Ride - $379 | Washington, D.C. – Quantico, VA | Monthly- $324 10-Ride - $144 |
In addition to being featured on the busiest trains in the Northeast Corridor, RideReserveSM, can be used on the Amtrak National Network, including state-sponsored trains (except California's Capitol Corridor and Pacific Surfliner), and some Amtrak Thruway bus services.
Previously, customers taking advantage of these monthly, ten-ride and six-ride discounts were unaware before boarding if their choice of trains was nearly (or already) sold-out. Confirmations are available up to 14 days until scheduled departure and for up to two trips per travel date (one in each direction). Also, by confirming a specific train on a specific date, customers who are also Amtrak Guest Rewards members can receive automated gate and track notifications and train status messages if there are any delays or disruptions.
