Unfortunatly, the government gives more money to the airline industries than Amtrak. Mainly because they know it will give them money back, but in the same sense, if the government increases funds to Amtrak they will defenatly improve. How could they not? The main player in Amtrak's cyrnet finnacial defeat is the media, I mean, when was the last time you heard something positive about Amtrak on the news? About the only time Amtrak is on the news is because of a derailment. And you know they can't wait to interview people who were involved in the incedent. Usually thier fisrt question is "What was it like," thier second? "Will you ever ride Amtrak again?" Nine out of ten of them them will say no, and Amtrak loses business, even though passengers are rarely injured. When an airplane crashes, even though the stories are well covered, and even tough everyone on board usually dies, everyone meaning anywhere from 100 to 400 <br />No one cares and the airline business continues to grow while Amtrak's shrinks. NOW WAIT A MINUTE!!!!! Plane crashes happen more often than Amtrak derailments, kill up to 400 more people, and even after September 11, Amtrak is the one to lose business? It's impossible to explain. It's insane to risk your life to arrive at your destination a few hours earlier by plane, when you can travel by rail and greatly reduce your death risk, unless the traveling matter is urgent. If you really think about it can make you really think why people really fly. I'd never put my life on the line to arrive at my destination at 12:00 rather than 4:30. If Amtrak does eventually fade away, We'll know whos fault it is.
