It took me three hours to get back to Columbia from St. Louis after Thanksgiving Break tonight. It usually takes about 1 hour and 25 minutes. Traffic sucks.
This is an example of good advertising. They gave a link to morail.org, which gives further links to alternative modes of transportation. It would be great if Amtrak stopped in Columbia (the closest stop is Jeff City - 37 min. away). A ticket costs about $16-20. Not bad. The train takes a little longer than I do speeding - 2 hours vs. 1.5
