Creator's Key Takeaways

I took FlixBus from Union Station DC which was end up being $94 instead of the $300 that Amtrak was going to be.

It was a very clean bus. Um but as soon as I got on I think the the thing for the day that whole day literally was people have a hard time finding their seats.

I highly recommend. Go ahead and reserve a seat um just you have your space.

I would definitely do it, but I think I think the Amtrak is just more my speed in regards to the timing.

Creator's Tips & Advice

โœ“Reserve a seat on FlixBus to have your own space and avoid sitting near the toilets.
โœ“Check your ticket and double-check your seat assignment to avoid conflicts with other passengers.
โœ“Consider booking Amtrak for more comfort and timing if you prefer train travel.
