Amtrak - Using too much money?

Maintaining the system will always cost money, more than Amtrak seems to have. Many expenditures are safety related, even when it doesn't look like it. <br />As stated earlier, we have seen all the arguments. Mr. Gunn has a tough job trying to make Amtrak work better. We need to support him if we are truely supporters of this mode of transportion - whether or not we like passenger trains. An effort to cut Amtrak is an effort that may expand to the cutting of funding to other things 'rail'. And yes, it seems to be a quest of one or two members of Congress to get Amtrak while ignoring their own electorate. <br /> <br />I for one admit being biased, I use many types of passenger services, including Amtrak. I don't drive so I support all 'public' transit. I wish more of us did. <br /> <br />---- <br />Always think safety!
