Talking about the "bucketing" where they first sell x% of tickets at a cheap price, then the next x% at a higher price, and on and on until its expensive as shit.
This is really demoralizing as someone who'd like to be a bit more spontaneous, and be able hop on a train out of town (which is running either way and never full...), the price I get offered is like double the price if I booked 3-4+ months out.
There must be a better system.
damn that sucks. I also don't see much service, but going to the next town over type shit is at least pretty cheap here. going to the next major city is more, but that's pretty far, and its still not $200-300 bad
