The fine print: The NYC/WAS and NYC/BOS city pairs are each counted separately for Acela. Through trains between Washington and Boston are counted as two trains. On-time is arrival early, on-schedule, or up to 14 minutes behind schedule (DOT Airline Reporting Criteria). Cancelled trains include all trains that either did not run or did not complete the trip. NYC=LGA and WAS=DCA for air. Air trip time is scheduled departure to actual gate arrival. Data is from the Amtrak.com train status feature and US DOT.
