MILWAUKEE, WI (WTAQ-WRN) — Amtrak’s Hiawatha service between Milwaukee and Chicago has a new fare schedule, and new cars.
A variable ticket pricing system replaces the $25 ticket with a sliding $19 to $31 fare based on demand and advance purchase.
According to the Wisconsin Department of Transportation, that provides lower-cost tickets during off-peak times while capping the maximum fare at $31 each way.
In partnership with Illinois, Amtrak has added newly delivered railcars on Hiawatha trains with features including wider aisles, more accessibility, improved Wi-Fi, quieter interiors, and smoother rides.
