Amtrak passengers can now plan trips, purchase tickets, modify existing reservations, check train schedules and view station information from the convenience of an iPhone with the free Amtrak application (app) now available through iTunes.
The new app provides quick, convenient and on-the-go Amtrak travel planning and organisation.
Customers can purchase one-way and roundtrip tickets that can be printed at a Quik-Trak machine, picked up from an agent or posted.
Passengers will be able to access the latest train arrival and departure information for their itinerary.
Customers can also use the app to show the nearest station to their current location and obtain addresses, directions, amenities and hours.
Users will be able to use their Amtrak account to see all trips booked and modify existing reservations including changing dates or trains and upgrading seats.
The app’s ‘Passport’ feature also allows users to share their travels on Facebook or Twitter.
