[QUOTE]Originally posted by amtrak92: [QB] The way I look at it, if you took the highway, airway, and waterway subsidies and put it into passenger rail. Which would be an additional 570 billion. We might be able to get more passengers. What they need to do is quit picking on the passenger trains. The first class is what attracts a lot of people to the train that can afford it. When you go from my area. You can leave from Florence (FLO at 11:45 PM, and get to DC at 7:46 the next morning. The airlines can't keep up with that. You sleep thru the night and your well rested in the morning, and the train pulls into downtown. Way before the airlines could get you there. If you can afford the sleeper it makes it a lot easier then taking a plane, due to arrival times. You agree. Specially now, the sleepers aren't much more expensive then a plane. In some markets. They are just looking for something to say no to. Party of no. I'm sorry if I offend anyone but that is my opinion. [/QB][/QUOTE]
