Question

Does amtrak accept cash, also, do i have to show a ID card?

Answer 1

Yes, they accept cash. For any ticket counter purchase you do have to show an ID. Some stations, but not all, have automated ticket machines which do not require an ID but may require use of a credit or debit card.

Answer 2

Photo ID Required

Amtrak customers 18 years of age and older must produce valid photo identification when:

Obtaining, exchanging, and refunding tickets

Storing baggage at stations

Checking baggage

Sending Amtrak Express shipments

Onboard trains, in response to a request by an Amtrak employee

Please note that unaccompanied children 15 and older must also produce valid photo ID when purchasing tickets.

Random Ticket/ID Checks

Following federal Transportation Security Administration (TSA) guidelines, we regularly conduct random ticket verification checks onboard trains to ensure that passengers are properly ticketed. Please be prepared to show valid photo identification to a member of the onboard crew upon request.
