Nope. See also: Amtrak.

  On the contrary, Amtrak represents the exact scenario that OP was asking about. It was created following the complete collapse of all the major passenger railroads.

    I think the point was "there'll always be passenger service", not "the current companies will survive unscathed".

      The worst case is they could all merge into "Amwings" and those who choose to AGTOW would go bankrupt. I doubt it. Consolidation down to fewer major carriers per country would happen first because it's not like HYPErloop is going to put airlines or air cargo out of biz anytime soon.
