Don: <br /> <br />I think there's a big problem brewing here. Regardless of the outcome you desire for Amtrak- fully government, partial private, fully private, whatever- the system that needs to be built to make a functional system is something that cannot be done in one sweeping move. It'll take years- decades- to build. It may have to be preceeded by years or even a decade of ridership building programs as well, to prepare the ground. <br /> <br />But what are we being forced to do? We are being held up to produce a solution in less than, what? 90 days? How long before th cash runs out again, and we relive June, but twice as bad? <br /> <br />Someone is going to have to figure out what to do short term- what to do immediately, to keep the system flowing and improve the service without breaking the budget. <br /> <br />Alexander
