How does Amtrak determine if you are a senior?
Regarding the earlier post I had about Bangor/Charlottesville connections, I'm guessing that when buying tickets in person my driver's license would be good enough but I'm not sure. The initial ticket from home to the trail will be bought on line. What sort of proof of age will I need for that? With all the planning going into the logistics of the actual hike, I'd feel stupid to find I was unable to get a discount on tickets at the last minute because I couldn't prove my age.
Getting to senior citizen status hasn't been the easiest thing in the world, but now that I'm here, I might as well take advantage of every benefit I can get from it. God knows it has its unavoidable drawbacks.
