Budget Airlines are proof that if you make service shitty enough, people will come to use it
The lesson, we either need to make trains a luxury option so people who can afford better service than the budget Airlines choose trains over planes OR we need to make trains so shitty that they have to be competitivly priced

Stumbled upon this post tumblr.com/amtrak-official/756979579402452992 while looking for a different one and had to do a double take. It is insane to see a blog with amtrak in its name make the same argument that is made against amtrak year after year, namely that "you are … paying a company that can't manage its own finances to stay afloat." Support or oppose tumblrs push to become user-funded for whatever reasons you like, but don't push such obviously misguided arguments.
Amtrak is a federal service, it should have no expectation of profitability, tumblr is a private corporation with no connection to the government. That right there is a massive difference
If I won the lottery I wouldn’t tell anybody, but there would be signs
Oh yeah, the whole internet thing doesn’t affect Amtrak because it runs off Linux, I forgot about that fact
Have you seen the majestic Acela Express?

Cars may be evil but Tracy Chapman’s 1988 masterpiece, “Fast Car” is a very good song
