The cheapest Trains fare in United States is €11.88 for one passenger, across the 12,224 routes we sell there. The median route runs 120 km in a straight line, which is the distance that fare should be read against before comparing it to anywhere else.

Can I travel out of United States by Trains?

604 of the Trains routes we sell touching United States cross a border and 11620 stay inside it, reaching 1 other countries including Canada. Cross border routes are usually the ones where the fare and the journey time differ most between operators.

Which operators run Trains services in United States?

26 operators run Trains services on routes we sell in United States: Amtrak, Amtrak California, Bombardier Technology, Brightline, CCRTA. Each is a real carrier from the published operator catalog, and each has its own fares and conditions. The operator table on this page compares them on speed, flexibility and what is on board.

What is the longest Trains route in United States?

The longest Trains route we sell touching United States runs from Jacksonville to Richmond, 891 km in a straight line. The median route in the country is 120 km, so this one is a considerable outlier and the fares on it behave differently from the rest.

Where these numbers come from

Schedules, seat counts and fares are generated by our own model until the supplier contracts are signed. Places, coordinates, operators, which operator serves which pair, and every distance are real. We would rather say that on every page than let a modeled number pass for a filed one.
