I said the focus on rail in general, not just Amtrak. MARTA and local transport activist in general have focused their efforts on rail expansion. It's consuming a large majority of capital improvement resources available.
The "if you build it they will come" is an argument I've seen a lot. But it's hard to square that with the decline in usage of exiting rail. I know in Atlanta ridership is down 15% despite a 40% increase in population.
