That's sad, you not being able to spend the holidays with your family. These transportation costs can be such a let down at times. The situation is similar in my place too. During religious holidays, it is almost impossible to get a ticket, which is obviously scalped hard. I hope you have a good time with your family, when you can.
Thanks brother... Everyone is always looking for ways to exploit every situation they find themselves in, hoping to make more than they normally would and it's unfair.. Unfortunately, no one really pays attention to these things, so this people always end up getting away with it.
People get away with stuff all the time. Nice people rarely win.
