Why is Amtrak so expensive
To cover their operating costs because they don't get enough subsides
thats america for you
Yeah Amtrak is chronically under funded compared to the Interstate highway system and needs to borrow money to run every year despite being a government service because it isn’t funded enough, meaning the cost of tickets is driven up by how that gap between legally mandated operations (which it is good that these operations are mandates) and the needed funding
