oh yeah amtrak is expensive, I thought you meant inner-city transportation, like what people use to get to work and etc
amtrak is for long distance transport generally, like vacations etc
and yea ; ; QC is my favorite of the two and I like old towns/cities. i loved it there! Chicago is a popular place for people here to move to lately, it'd be one of the places I'd consider too if i were to move. its somewhat expensive but being used to $2-5k/month apartments in NYC it's soo much better and like heaven for housing lol
