"Getting Amtrak's costs down to European levels would allow it to fix a lot more of its infrastructure for a lot less money. Lawmakers of both parties instead appear set on simply shoveling more taxpayer money at the inefficient agency."

@ladydreamspeed But, I do agree Amtrak has a lot of issues that need fixing. It is unfortunate that any push to fix Amtrak is met with pushback from railfans that see it is as their once a year vacation train and hate anything resembling a frequent corridor or something Western European.

Going down to ATL from NYC in Sept for a wedding and I'm thinking about taking Amtrak. It's a 16 hr trip, costs $164 to sit in coach. It seems insane to do that over a 2hr flight, but it also sounds... more pleasant? Less stressful? Anyone have insights into if this is crazy?

Amtrak bus not mentioned, per se ( noticed for the first time, on the Big Board, a bus to Emeryville can be found at 555 Mission St). Greyhound way down at 3/5 with zero signage……Muni/GG Transit are for those in the know

I teach Mondays and Wednesdays in the early afternoon.
So, you’d think the natural scenario would be to catch the late train to New York on the Northeast Regional.
The problem is that Amtrak servic departs from Charlottesville only three times a day, and the latest is at 3:00pm

Sure, they’re not necessarily going to solve Amtrak’s political problems, but operationally US trains are a joke and it’s not clear people even recognize this as a problem.

Part of the problem is that there is essentially no local knowledge in America for how to run a modern train system, meaning that it’s probably necessary to bring in people from Germany, Japan, France, etc. as Amtrak consultants/leaders.

@mattyglesias @henrygrabar The problem with Amtrak is not a funding issue. Its the secondary status compared to freight trains when both of em need to use the same track. You aren't going to get the customers when there are regular delays of a few hours.

This wouldn't be a problem in the current federal government. They know that Amtrak has been underfunded for years and are actually working to fix that.

@WolfRoaming @lukebayguy @GoBrightline @Amtrak The problem is, most of these routes aren't served by trains that run only between them. They're served by Amtrak's long distance routes that p*** THROUGH them, and are often delayed in their arrival by freight trains along the route.

2. I LOVE the train. You get the least amount of movement/motion sickness (issue for me), you can eat & relax plus more space than planes to get up & move. + my personal favorite: you can roll a joint on ur tray table for when u hop off :)

The only bad experience I’ve had on Amtrak was cuz a lady had a heart attack delaying the train for hours and further down the trip they found a dead body on the tracks which delayed it for hours cuz they had to do an investigation. The chances of that happening again are zero.

@NebraskaFTW @abir2021 @duckbldg Amtrak’s main problem is something they can do nothing about. They don’t own most of the railroads - they’re owned by the various private freight rail companies - who get priority on timetables and line access. There’s consequent Amtrak lay-ups, delays, and interruptions.
