Generally you’ll only get that kind of pricing at off peak times. If you can book out Amtrak a few weeks in advance, you’ll get the best price.

Source: been doing this commute for 10 years and still salty they got rid of the 5:35 Amtrak out of south station.

I ride the PVD-Boston line every.single.day. It really isn’t bad though. The trains that leave at 7:15am or 7:40 from PVD are ok as you’ll get a nice seat. Pro tip: choose a three seater as you will likely only have one person join you as the train fills up, with a space between you. Try for the top of a double level car for the best views.

It might help to cruise around the neighborhood you want to live in and look for those old school "For Rent" signs. Usually the best deals and not greedy landlords.
