...and he mentions "the millions of people who travel on Amtrak's gorgeous long distance routes every day!" Buddy...listen...

...if there were MILLIONS of people using them EVERY DAY, then they wouldn't be facing closure, ok?
-
For real tho, please have some idea what you're talking about if you're going to bat for trains in the USA
-
...also, have an idea of what "millions per day" looks like. Odakyu (all lines combined) carries about 1.5 million per day.
-
Even in Japan, only a handful of stations clear 1,000,000 daily passengers...it's a high bar! No station in the USA reaches it!

I love trains but Amtrak is a subsidized political football. It's bad because they force bad lines to stay open.
-
yeah, Amtrak's gotta go

But not before they sell off their shiny rolling stock with the panoramic windows for me to set up in my backyard!
