Amtrak Unveils Enhancements for Share Fare Program

Amtrak announced that it has enhanced the popular Share Fare program to allow groups of up to eight people can save big with a total discount of as much as 60 percent off.

To be eligible, all passengers must travel together on the same itinerary and have tickets issued jointly, with larger groups receiving bigger discounts. The Share Fare program can be found on the rail company's official website.

Reservations for Share Fares must be made at least two days before travel and are applicable on most published prices. The discounts are available across the country on Coach and Acela Business Class tickets using promo code V291 for travel on certain trains.

Number of Passengers	Passenger 1	Groups of 2	Groups of 3	Groups of 4	Groups of 5	Groups of 6	Groups of 7	Groups of 8
Discount	Pay Regular Fare	Pay Regular Fare	17% off all Fares	30% off all Fares	39% off all Fares	47% off all Fares	54% off all Fares	60% off all Fares

The offer is not valid on the Amtrak Hiawatha, Capitol Corridor, Keystone Service, Canadian section of the Maple Leaf, Canadian section of the Adirondack, Canadian section of Cascades, Pacific Surfliner and Pennsylvanian.

The Share Fare program is not combinable with any other discount offer, and is also subject to any restrictions, blackouts and refund rules that apply to the type of fare purchased and a 25 percent cancellation fee.
