[quote]QUOTE: The demand for intercity rail passenger transportation is limited.[/quote] <br /> <br />You'd be amazed what a 1.3 Trillion dollar investment by the government will do for "demand." Any limitations on rail passenger demand have to do with the lack of investment and funding, not with a lack of desire or willingness to take the train. You're confusing cause and effect. Even with a smaller network and fewer trains, Amtrak is carrying more people than ever despite all of its handicaps. Passenger rail in this country truly is a case of "build it, and they will come." We just have to get to the building part. In the meantime, we should continue to have what rail passenger service we have, and if they're unwilling to build the high speed network we SHOULD have, then at least Amtrak should be supported adequately in order to expand its capacity and utility instead of keeping it on the ridiculous starvation budget that it's been on since 1971.
