I’m considering doing ground travel to a place not too far away from here. Air travel is too expensive (especially since my trip won’t be too far into the future) so I’m considering going by train or even by bus (train is preferred.)
I’m considering doing ground travel to a place not too far away from here. Air travel is too expensive (especially since my trip won’t be too far into the future) so I’m considering going by train or even by bus (train is preferred.)
How do I go about searching for travel fare? I’m hoping there is a site similar to Priceline or Travelocity that deals with ground travel of this sort.
DETAILS: I’m hoping to travel a round-trip vacation between Portland, Oregon and Calgary, Alberta (Canada, of course). I’ll be travelling sometime this month.
Once again, I’m looking for help with finding places to get trainfare (or anything with ground travel) be it a Priceline-similar site or anything. I just need a way to find and compare prices for travelfare. Any hints, ideas, suggestions? Any help is much appreciated!

Kazakhstan is the best and the most exotic place for holidays
Trips to Kazakhstan are from 99 dollars a week! Service and quality is guaranteed! In our region many people speak English and German fluently!

Hi, Jim.
A couple super-cheap, high-adventure options, that make life very exciting, and are genuinely cool, potentially.
1. Look on Craigslist for rideshare opportunities. Use your feel, and check the person out, but it’s really fun, and you can meet some neat people, and have a great experience.
2. Check out CouchSurfing.com. Again, you can meet some great people, and there ar people everywhere who you can stay with. It’s really designed to create community.
AmTrak of course has its search, and is lovely. Greyhound is weird, but living on the edge it’s kind of fun.
Then, there’s driveaway agencies, where people need their car moved for them.
Good luck!

I found the train costs about the same as a plane, after you buy pillow, blankets, food

Some of the sites I found are:
(doubt if this caters to your route)
Dakota, Minnesota & Eastern Railroad
Grand Canyon Railway
Union Pacific
I appreciate none of these might suit your purpose, but funnily I was not able to find a search engine similar to that for flights…
