I wish we would just get some other company than Amtrak to implement the rail. I love the idea of rail, it’s a shame that Amtrak is somehow incredibly more expensive than flying every time I check the prices.

Congress could deregulate passenger rail and allow competition. Amtrak is a government monopoly. There's the chance that passenger rail isn't profitable and that it disappears but I've always thought that would be unlikely

Put differently: it's a shame that as passengers we pay so little of the real cost of flying that train travel can appear expensive by comparison.

Have you tried booking a ticket? It throws an unhandled error: "Cannot read property 'sysError' of undefined". Can't make this shit up.
