Amtraks Long Distance E-Ticketing has changed slightly.

This is CMSTPnP, problem with my earlier account so customer service suggested trying a new one. Looks like there is still and issue and I will need to escalate higher on the Kalmbach Publishing ladder when I get some time.

So they issue an E-Ticket and Reciept now (which they kind of did before but this reciept looks different now). E-Ticket looks the same but the Reciept looks more formatted and in color…kind of an improvement. They also sent me a letter of changes they are making and stated they were moving to a more touchless ticketing and user experience…not sure what that means but I will find out shortly. Had to purchase a limo between Chicago and Milwaukee. Connecting trains suspended until about Memorial Day weekend. No way am I traveling by Amtrak Bus and waiting until 7:00 p.m. to arrive in Milwaukee with a 1:50 p.m. arrival in Chicago.

Reasonable for the private limo option. $225 between Chicago Union Station and a Western Milwaukee Suburb for a stretch limo no less. Stretch limo has better social distancing with the driver (lol). Thought it would be $400 at least…still it stings the wallet. Will rent a car locally instead of at the airport this time as someone recommended and yes that results in a approx $100 savings in Wisconsin tax and user fees per week for a SUV crossover sized vehicle. Cha-Ching!

Got a price break on the RT Roomette due to a past voucher. Cheapest RT Roomette I ever paid for in my traveling history. :slight_smile:

But were you required to wear a mask in the limo?

No, though the driver did, 10 passenger stretch limo and I had to yell for the driver to hear me…I was so far back in the car. He also had a power partition he could roll up if he was concerned about germs.
