[Amtrak Tickets, Schedules and Train Routes](https://www.amtrak.com/home.html) Just try booking a round trip ticket from Hudson (HUD) to Grand Central Station (NYG). If you type in NY, ok, you get a drop down list, pick an item, and it selects the wrong destination! Defaults to opening the first train of the day, which takes up the whole screen, so you're wondering, W(here)TF are the other options? Click on a ticket price. Then you have to click on "Add to Cart" which doesn't always seem to work. Those horizontal green and blue things are clickable, even though the mouse pointer stays an arrow making me, at least, think they're not clickable and wondering what they're there for. And if you want to change something, clicking on the browser's back button erases all data and you have to start from scratch! Did I mention the layout is atrocious? The whole booking design is pathetic. You could write it so that you could do the entire round trip on a single screen! Must have been written in Ruby on Rails (actually, looking at the page source, it doesn't seem so) by an idiot (but this part still is true.) Sadly, this is probably the result of feedback from computer illiterate people on what originally was an almost equally bad design but at least didn't behave so erratically.

They don't like travellers much, do they? Reminds me of British Rail ... :laugh:

Not so bad, but I've bought tickets from the NJ Path vending machines. The software does work - but where and when you can do things is crazy. If I recall correctly, if you want more than one ticket you need to go to the checkout page and find the right spot to begin the changes routine. Why would I want to check out if I didn't finish with my selection? I'm sure the usual riders don't have any problems - but then again, they're from NJ.

Ah that guy. I have access to his webcam and have recorded some acts of his. Tell him to pay me USD 600 via BTC so I can delete those videos and send him the ticket as compliment. The ticket is free!
