Amtrak (http://www.amtrak.com/) has some ridiculous deal going on — 70% off of tickets on most of the east-of-the-mississippi trains. $30 from Rochester to New York Penn Station. $40 from Chicago to Washington DC. There is a train that goes down the East Coast -- Boston down into the South, through Virginia, the Carolinas, Georgia, Mississipii, Alabama, finally to New Orleans. That sounds pretty fun.

Why don't I see these lower fares?

Click on "Hot Deals" then "Weekly Specials".

Yeah, they have some pretty good fares if you can go during the middle of the week. A ticket from Raleigh to Miami costs around $25-30 on Tuesdays and Wednesdays, but a Saturday ticket is around $120. If I want to go to Washington DC I can get a $20 ticket during the week on Amtrak, but for weekend trips it's cheaper to fly (even cheaper than Greyhound...)
