Is it safe for a 16yr old to take amtrak from the bay area to eugene oregon? -

my daughter is 16 and she wants to take the amtrak to eugene oregon from martinez california, is it safe for her to do that by herself? i am not sure because it will be at night

Yes.

great evidence to back it up there buddy? OH I THINK SO Report Abuse

I have taken Amtrak many times across the US since I was about 19. I truly believe it is the safest way to travel and the most comfortable. It s certainly 1,000 times better than the Greyhound buses. I have taken the greyhound bus and I will never do that again, now that is the scariest way to travel because there are a lot of smelly, scummy looking people who take the bus. The people on the train usually just keep to themselves and don t bother anybody. I mostly see older people and business people on Amtrak, and the staff does a good job of keeping track of everybody and making sure that everyone gets off where they re supposed to. So yes, the train is very safe compared to any other mode of travel.

im very sure shed be safe, i mean theres always the freak chance of some rapist happening to pick her out, but likewise theres always a freak chancce of the train derailing and the everyone ding or the freak chance that she might slip in a puddle while boarding the train and smacking her head on pavement and getting a brain hemorage and dying. im in pleasant hill and can drive her there in my van if you want.
