Passengers feeling tense and stressed on Tax Day can get relief with massages on board Amtrak's Capitol Corridor train #538 through the new "Ride and Relax" program. On Tuesday April 15, 2003, Amtrak officially launches its Capitol Corridor "Ride and Relax" program. Tax Day is also "Rider Appreciation Day" so passengers can receive a 10-minute massage at no charge!
During the "Ride and Relax" program's regular monthly sessions passengers may take advantage of the $1 a minute fee while relaxing and riding aboard the train. The massage therapists will ease passenger's neck and shoulder pains on selected eastbound evening trains in special massage chairs on the lower level of the train. Periodically the program will be offered on other trains. Visit http://www.amtrakcapitols.com for "Ride & Relax" dates and more information!
