I travel between NYC and Baltimore pretty frequently, and go with the train when its a reasonable cost, and use OurBus when its not. OurBus seems to be about $30 each way, and its stop is a block from Penn Station, which beats a lot of the other buses that stop near the beltway. And the bus has never been crowded when I have taken it, which is usually Fridays/Sundays.

Ourbus also picks up in Columbia. We took last week. Less crowded, cleaner and better Wi-Fi.

The Amtrak website seems terrible. I can barely get it to function. Is that what you use or am I missing something?

Agreed. The mobile app is quite a bit better.

It's confusing, you need to make sure you choose the right starting station and final destination, not all lines stop at all places. Check the specific line that goes from here to there.

Wanderu is great to book through. It will show you all train and bus options for your itinerary
