It's come to my attention that many people aren't using MARC's special MARC to the PARK rail service to Orioles games because they think it's too expensive. There are a number of reduced fares available, so PLEASE consider using the train even if taking the train. First, as a reminder MARC offers service to ALL Orioles home games on ALL of it's lines. Please call 1-800-325-RAIL in Maryland for more information. On Camden line trains ONLY their are special fares available. First buy a ROUND trip ticket. At Washington Union Station you must by the ticket at the Amtrak ticket promenade to avoid paying a $3.00 surcharge. At all other stations you can buy round trip tickets ONBOARD the train. The savings can be as much as 15%. For example a round trip ticket from Union station is $9.00 a $1.00 savings of the cost of two one way trips. If your travelling with a group of 4 people or more use the baseball card fare. It entitles FOUR poeple travelling together a further discount. For example the baseball card fare from Washington Union Station is $32.00 a further $1.00 savings of the cost of four round trip tickets. A Family with children under 12 can use the FAMILY fare. Up to four people can travel on this fare. At least one person must be an adult but not more than two people can be adults. At least one person must be a child but there can be no more than 3 children on this fare. The fare from Washington Union Station is only $20.00 and additional children are only $2.00 roundtrip regardless of the normal childrens fare. Finally groups of TEN or more travelling together can get special group fares of up to 40% off. You must make reservations at least a WEEK in advance and you must call CSX to make them, you can call for more details. In addition the normal senior citizen (65 or over), disabled (w/ID), and children (under 12 w/parent) fares apply.
