[QUOTE]Originally posted by MPALMER: [QB] Polarbearucla, 1. Amtrak might not be competitive to air for LA-Chicago. But how about Fullerton, CA to Naperville, IL? How about Flagstaff, AZ to Kansas City, MO? It is the non-endpoints that Amtrak serves on LD trains that really help make it useful. 2. While some of the discussions that came out early in Amtrak's existence (and even later in the Warrington years) discussed Amtrak as if it were to be a profit-making business. I see no reason that Amtrak should be profitable; that does not mean it should have a license to waste money. I see Amtrak more in line with, say, a police or fire department or other service: it does not need to be a "profitable" venture in the business sense of the word. 3. Unlike other posters I do occasionally ride Greyhound, but more as a gap-filler where Amtrak does not have service. MP [/QB][/QUOTE]
