Tickets Lost on Connector Bus Trip

[Skim]

Hi all,

I've travelled Amtrak often and this is my first trip with a connector bus. My return tickets were lost or stolen and Amtrak won't give me new ones. Since a bus is involved, there are no e-tickets and they won't even provide for the train portions. Customer relations won't budge and they refuse to transfer my call to someone higher up. What can I do, short of re-buying the tickets?

Sorry, you're out of luck on this one - paper-value tickets are like cash. Lose 'em and they're gone.

Re-buy the tickets and don't lose them.

LOL, after typing I found them where I'd already looked.

You always find them in the last place you look.

The next time I go looking for something and find it, I'm going to keep looking for a few minutes just so I can come back here and say that you were wrong.

Glad the tickets turned up for you. I've been there before and it's no fun.

You beat me to it. Of course people find things in the last place they look, because they stop looking.

Of course, in this case, it was an earlier-than-last-place where Skim found them, because he had already looked there.

Skim, I too am glad you found them. Having problems while traveling is a curse I would wish on very few people.

Thanks, all.

You don't know how hard I tried to Anti-Ryan that comment prior to posting.

Make something idiot proof, and the world will bring you bigger idiots.

(edit: in case it wasn't clear, I was calling myself the bigger idiot, not calling you one)

My experience suggests that the worst idiots tend to have random inappropriatly timed strokes of genius, and manage to discover the critical flaw in any "idiot proof" system.

The connector bus Toledo to Michigan took etickets. He had a scanner.
