QuestERide vs Amtrak

Amtrak is fantastic on the Northeast Corridor. Off the main lines, it's a different story: limited routes, once-a-day schedules, and stations far from where you actually want to go. QuestERide fills the gap.

Route coverage: QuestERide — Any two US cities; Amtrak — Limited outside NEC, CA, PNW
Departure frequency: QuestERide — Whenever a driver posts; Amtrak — Often 1–2x per day
Door-to-door: QuestERide — Yes; Amtrak — Station-to-station
Price on off-peak routes: QuestERide — Driver-posted, competitive; Amtrak — Often higher than flying

Take Amtrak on the corridor. Take QuestERide everywhere else.
