The problem is that Amtrak has two conflicting dual mandates:
* make a “profit”
* run essential 3km+ long distance services. These often serve rural areas without parallel Interstate routes
And has never been given the appropriate amount of money to do both at the same time.
- thriftwy 3y agoHaving these routes are no problem if you add five times as much pragmatic routes. On almost every city map in the US you can see a railway crossing it, usually in the downtown behind a large mall that should also double as a rail station if you ask me.
