Fare Increases

It seems like Amtrak recently raised their ticket prices. I was looking at the Downeaster and short runs have prices raised by $1 throughout. Oh well...

The Downeaster runs on diesel. They're taking a pounding with fuel costs.

I think it's time for the seasonal increase.
My $6.50 tickets for hockey turn into $7.50 for baseball.
Then they go back down for hockey season again.
With fuel prices like they are, maybe they won't go down next fall.

A quick check on reservations shows mine increase sometime between May 20 and June 20. Still $6.50 now, though.
