Getting to and from the station

Most major stations include taxi stands, rideshare pickup zones, and connecting public transit. Long-term and short-term parking is generally available at corridor and long-distance stations; small flag-stop stations may be unstaffed and have limited facilities. We recommend confirming station amenities with the operator before traveling, especially for early-morning or late-night arrivals. For ground-transport options at major U.S. terminals, the station-to-downtown ground transport directory is a handy companion.
