For years, Amtrak has offered a monthly pass for riders, now they're moving to a 10-ride pass only. This change more than doubles the cost for commuters who go to and from Chicago daily.

    I cant help but think how incredibly soul crushing it would be to commute all the way to chicago every day… even from the sturtevant station, its a full hour train ride (on-top of just getting to the station.)

    Sucks for the people adversely affected though… that a rough surprise…

      Depending what bus I take, my ride can be about 40min. It’s not amazing, but on a bus I can actually relax and do stuff. I imagine on a train with a bathroom etc it’s better. I doubt anyone enjoys it, but it’s definitely not comparable to commuting by car.
