Hello,
Perhaps a somewhat unusual request; I am planning an upcoming trip on the Coast Starlight service, between LAX and OAK.
I am trying to decide which of two particular days may be better to travel based on how patronized the train will be.
Given I have the option of travelling on either of the two days, I would prefer to travel on the less busy (passenger wise) of the two.
For example, I can travel on a Monday or Tuesday of a certain week.
Having a look through the Amtrak website, the standard coach/business class seats are $17 more expensive on Tuesday's train.
I assume like the airlines, the higher the price of the ticket, the more seats that have already sold for that day's train.
Again, like the airlines with their 'fare buckets' which you can look up on various websites, does Amtrak have a similar online resource available to the public, or is there any other way of finding out how patronized my traimay potentially be?
Can't say it is of great importance to my trip planning, but thought I would ask anyway as it may help when trying to decide which day to travel on.
Cheers.
