Last night I ran across a notation in my archives that I took a Metroliner from NYC to Washington DC on June 27, 1971. The fare was $17. According to an online inflation rate calculator, historic inflation would place that same fare at slightly over $100 today.
This trip is regularly available for Amtrak's Saver Fare of $49. The trip in '71 was 3 hours: 5pm to 8pm......half hour faster than today.
I remember absolutely nothing about the trip. :wacko:
