[QUOTE]Originally posted by sojourner: [QB] Mr. Toy, We need to find out if Amtrak is indeed trying to drive away customers, as you speculate, which was one of my vague initial suspicions too. But it could also be they are doing these crazy things simply to try to comply with the "cost reduction" directive they received, just as they are cutting the food and lounges. But whatever they are doing, it's completely inane and will kill business. I suggest everyone call or write to (a) Amtrak, and start complaining; (b) NARP; and (c) their Congressman or woman, or senator, or, if your own are all Neanderthals, a sympathetic one in a state you visit--and ask them to investigate why the 45% hike when the newspapers said 7%, at the same time as a cutBACK in food and other amenities. Meanwhile, what I'm doing is just waiting to book trips I used to book much earlier. I feel pretty sure the price will come down on most of these routes (especially in January a week after New Year's). If worse comes to worst, I'll go coach, or go coach part way, or even fly. There is no way I'm paying these ridiculous prices. [/QB][/QUOTE]
