Heh, how about they get Amtrack to be reliable first.
Last I checked, the train between Dallas and Fort Worth is too unreliable to use for a job commute.
...Which is awful, because the commute into downtown Dallas is surely one of the worst on the planet. I have never seen such a concentration of angry drivers.
- CoastalCoder 3y agoFWIW, I found Amtrak between Boston and southern Rhode Island to be reliable enough for a daily commute (a few years ago at least).
- afavour 3y agoUnfortunately there’s very little notion of nationwide quality for Amtrak. I’ve taken it between NYC and DC plenty of times and it’s always been great but I wouldn’t automatically extend that experience to any other line in the system.
- ghaff 3y agoI believe Amtrak owns their tracks on the Northeast Corridor which they don't in most of (all?) the rest of the country where they conflict with freight. Amtrak basically makes all of their money on the Northeast Corridor and loses it on most of their other routes.
- brucethemoose2 3y agoI didn't mean to imply Amtrack was unrelaible nationwide.
