You can buy an Amtrak ticket at the station, but it usually costs more 
than if you buy in advance because the cheaper tickets have already sold 
out.  But if you miss your train because, say, your plane is late, 
you've got to buy a new ticket at the station anyway.  An advantage to 
the MBTA, I suspect, is that there's just one price.
