It varies a huge amount. You can get DC to NYC tickets for under $50 if you buy at the last second. Most trains don’t fill up and they basically give away the remaining seats with like 8 hours to go.
Also the traveling part is generally tedious, uncomfortable and boring unless you have a super big luxury car. I’d much rather travel by high-speed rail.

I was hanging out in the Cafe car a few weeks ago on a 9 hr trip playing video games on my laptop. Got chatting with some folks, 3 of us one by one broke out our respective liquors and made a party of it.

I’m sure a bit of diddling on their site could give you an idea of how far $X will get you.

My friend, allow me to introduce you to the shit show which is the upper level of the 9pm Megabus. I’ve seen people straight up smoking meth.
