[QUOTE]Originally posted by DeeCT: [QB] Several questions. Where did they arrive at this $396 dollar figure? Is that figure per day - per trip - per what? What is the subsidy rate per coach passenger? (Remember room rates are in addition to the basic passenger (coach) rate.) If I make a cross country trip -- say Boston to Los Angeles ---- and travel first class How much is the subsidy if traveling Amtrak? How much is the subsidy if flying? How much is the subsidy if I drove? I do not fly (last flight in 2000). I drive about 10 miles per week. Yet my tax dollars go to subsidize both forms of transportation. Where is the proposal to eliminate those subsidies and pass those costs on to the Airline passenger and Auto owner? [/QB][/QUOTE]
