Amtrak, everyone's favorite underfunded government run train company.
Personally considered an enemy of the state by NBC, Taylor Swift, The US Trademark Office and The Amtrak corporation.

It’s easy to be convinced of things by big numbers but remember those several hundred possible commuters could be better served by a freeway on top of their homes instead of a subway that goes down a wide boulevard

Was just doing some back of the envelope math to explain the efficiency of trains to someone. Penn Station in New York saw about 600,000 daily passengers on weekdays in 2019. If every one of those people were to hypothetically drive a modern mini cooper instead (which, at 1.5m by 3.8m takes up an area of 6.4 square meters), it would require 3,876 square kilometres of parking. The combined area of Manhattan, Staten Island, and Long Island is 3,738 square Kilometres.
