The comments you make about maintenance cost and facilities/ plant rental is 100% true, but I wouldn't go so far as to call the travel cost differential a "myth", case in point, the "LA.- Ft Wayne Indiana" trip we talked about earlier. Ft Wayne IS a smaller town, and the round trip airfare was $350.00 and connected my ACTUAL destinations within that price. Amtrak wanted $325.00 rountrip for coach (add a sleeper and the cost skyrocked) took 6 days instead of 2, and dropped me off 32 miles out in the boonies. This latter item gives thekiss of death to your representation, as even if I give it the most liberal of ground, that add on of roundtrip shuttle adds more than $25 to the farebox price, andall you will find at the Waterloo In "amtrak station" is a concrete ramp, a rain shield, and a pay phone (with no phonebook) just try and turn *that* into a rental car at 11 PM, I dare ya. No cab service in Waterloo, they roll up the sidewalk at sundown and put it away in this town of 2,200 people, so you are literally stuck in a corn field at midnight, unles you contract ahead with a shuttle, (hint for more than $25.00 round trip) So, it's not exactly a myth...
