[Anonymous]

DD taking an Amtrak train to an internship interview in the afternoon. How is the scene for a 16 yr old taking an Amtrak herself at Union station, transferring from Metro?

Perfectly fine

Tell her to sit next to a woman. Not alone - if she sits alone near an empty seat guarantee a man will want to sit next other her.

Absolutely fine. I'm a woman who has taken Amtrak solo to NYC multiple times and never had a problem.

It depends on the time of day. About what time will she be there? Morning or afternoon should be fine. Evening or especially night, definitely not.

45pm is safe right? Rush hour crowds

It will be fine to transfer from metro to Amtrak at 5 pm on a weekday. Lots of commuters doing the same.

Yes, that time should be fine.
When I need to ride the train in NYC these days, I try to board near some man who looks like he wouldn’t be afraid to defend a woman, if need be.

My 12 year old daughter commutes regularly from Union Station to school. Your daughter will be fine.

Absolutely fine. 6th graders from our neighborhood transfer through there all the time.

I take the Marc train to work daily and there are quite a few kids that use the train to commute to school.
