[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by futuremodal Mr. Seldon also states the fact that Amtrak's market share is less than 1%, and he's a passenger rail advocate, not a right wing extremist rail basher! Hmmmmmm! [/quote] Selden is a respected passenger rail authority. Wendall Cox isn't. Cox hates rail period - high-speed, LD, short corridors, commuters. Again, do a web search on him. He's reactionary to any type of rail progress. He will always find something wrong with rail in ANY form. Agreed, right-wing may not have been the best term to use here. I didn't dispute the 1% market share contention. I disputed the assertion that Amtrak isn't available to 97% of the population when train service is available to 85% of the public. I also objected to the taking that 1% out of context. By only focusing on such a small number, and omitting the fact that air service is not much greater - like 12% - that's distorting of the facts. The contention that since Amtrak only has such-and-such a market share, it isn't worth improviing to gain additional market share is what I'm arguing against.
