Amtrak's Redesigned iPhone App Offers Easier Access to Train Status, Tickets, and More

Amtrak on Wednesday announced that it has redesigned its iOS and Android apps to provide more convenient access to train status, tickets, and more.

Amtrak App Icon Feature
Amtrak, the national passenger rail company in the U.S., operates more than 30 train routes throughout the country and into Canada.

Here is what is new in the app, according to Amtrak:

  • A passenger can now view their train's status and schedule adjustments right on their reservation, within 24 hours of an active trip.
  • A new station-to-station train tracker shows how a train is progressing along its route.
  • A new "My Trips" tab allows passengers to view their active, upcoming, and past trips on a single screen, separate from promotional content.
  • For train routes with assigned seating, the app now offers upfront seat selection during the booking process.

Amtrak's app is available on the App Store for the iPhone and iPad.

I’m sure this is great for the sliver of people in the NE who use Amtrak.
Amtrak has as many annual riders as many mid-sized airlines, like Alaska, JetBlue, and Spirit. They all have their own apps.

You know what would be nice to see in an article about a redesigned app? Some pictures of the said new design.
But that's too much to ask I guess...

I love travel by rail when time isn't an issue. The cost is ridiculous though. Traveling across the country by rail should be cheaper than flying, but instead it costs almost double.

Ahem what? Spirit isn’t mentioned in that article, and that article is about multiple airlines supporting Find My—not one airline’s trivial app update.
As someone that rides Amtrak--this sounds like more than a trivial update. Their current app is borderline useless.
