This new year, we challenge you to ditch the usual resolutions and do things that will actually make an impact-on the environment, your relationships, your bank account and your health!

Get train-ing in 2022 with our New Year's Resolution Travel Challenge!

10X CHALLENGE

Ride the train 10 times this year! Not only will you be saving the environment by curbing CO2 emissions, you’ll be saving money on expensive car fuel! With over 100 destinations to choose from, resolve to take 10 trips in 2022 you might not have been able to afford driving a car! Our Thruway Buses can bring you straight to Santa Monica Pier, into Yosemite National Park and even all the way to the slots in Las Vegas—all for the price of your train ticket.

ECO-CONSCIOUS TRAVEL

Ride the train instead of taking a car when you can. One small change in your routine means one big step towards saving the planet! And it’s not too much of a sacrifice when you can enjoy free Wi-Fi, relax with comfortable, spacious seating, order food from our cafe car and catch the beautiful scenic views. From taking the train, to catching a bus, riding your bike and walking, there are so many affordable ways to conserve in the new year!

WINE A LITTLE

Wine a little… you’ll feel better, save money and stay safer when you take the crew on a wine tasting trip with Gold Runner! Passengers traveling together in groups of 15 receive a 30% discount off the normal fare. And with stops in Paso Robles and Napa’s Wine Country, it’s the perfect travel experience for bachelorette weekends, 21st birthday parties, or just for fun in the new year! Use code V486 at checkout.

WALK IT OUT

Stay fit and conserve natural resources when you walk from the train station to your destination! Stop and smell the roses. Get the full experience of wherever you’re traveling and get your steps in while you’re at it. It’s simple.
