Insight into rapid multi-ride price increases?
I am currently traveling frequently between DC and New York for work, and have been buying 10-trip multi ride tickets between WAS and NYP for the past few months. I am curious to see whether folks have any insight into the rapid price increases that have been occurring.
In early October, the price was $950; in mid-November, an even $1000; and January's is going to be $1050. I am not necessarily complaining, particularly since I often change trains last minute on Thursday afternoons, and I appreciate the flexibility, but I am curious if anyone has any idea why the fare has gone up twice in such quick succession. In my experience, Amtrak has adjusted prices on a yearly basis, which doesn't map to the two increases I've seen this quarter alone.
Thanks for any insight.
