Amtrak Indianapolis Chicago recent customer reviews
I didn’t get to have an experience with Amtrak . I was booked on a greyhound bus but didn’t find out until I got to the terminal. There was nothing in the booking that let me know that I would be riding a bus home. If I had known I would have to ride greyhound I would’ve made other arrangements.

The people were very good. The train was pretty clean and restrooms good. Other than getting off and arriving a little late, and masks not being required, I enjoyed the trip.
