[quote user="jeaton"] OW Delavan, WI to Portland, OR:  Gasoline $309.90OW Milwaukee, WI to Portland, OR:  My Amtrak coach ticket $119.85[:)][/quote]So that brings us back to the question of whether Amtrak should raise the price of their tickets to cover all their costs?  Does anyone know, based on the example above, what the fully allocated cost of an Amtrak ticket from Milwaukee to Portland would be?  Would it be more than $309 or less?If it would still be less than the cost of driving, I agree with Michael that Amtrak might want to advertise that.But that would bring us full circle to the very question of Amtrak's existence.  If a passenger train can cover it's costs, then don't we have a moral duty to hand such service over to the private sector?[:D]
