Amtrak verses Megabus

I went to visit my family this Labor Day weekend and made my plans only a few days in advance. First I booked a trip on the Megabus, a low cost express bus. I paid $21 for my ticket and it only took 5 hours and 15 minutes to make the trip with one stop. I slept, watched a movie on my computer and before I knew it we were there. But when I tried to book my return trip, all the good Megabus times were sold out. It was my fault for waiting too long but I was peeved that I missed out on the deal. I looked into flights, but at the time I really didn’t fell like spending $130 for a one way trip. So I searched the Amtrak website. I have had bad experiences with Amtrak, but decided to give it another chance. I booked a 4:30 am train that was scheduled to arrive at 10 am, because it was half the cost of the normal time trains and it was scheduled to be quicker. Here I am at 11:20 and really not even close to the city. I slept most of the morning waking up occasionally to check things out. We had to be stopped for at least an hour and a half because I woke up went back to sleep for a while and woke up again to discover that we had not moved at all. By the time I was done sleeping and realized where we were and how long it took to get there I was really discouraged. I think that this will be my last Amtrak trip. I gave it one more shot but all I learned is that my initial feelings were right, and I gave Amtrak its last chance.
