So, should I expect tickets price to decrease some time away from departure (2-3 months ?) before increasing again, i.e. am I looking too early, or can I assume they will only increase over time?
Thanks in advance
Are you flexible in your travel date/time? When I check, for many days in October, I see Escape fares for $54 (e.g. on October 26), which is a very good price. Prices in general are comparable or even slightly cheaper than those in May-June(e.g. on May 24, there is only one train with a $54 escape fare).

In general, I prefer the train over the bus.
