Budd(?), <br /> <br />It is hard for me to believe that you couldn't pay for the cost of a passenger car if it were filled every seat every day. It seems to me that there must be other costs involved. This just reinforces my position that passenger rail travel should be left to the free market (private companies) to pursue or avoid based on the economics of the situation. <br /> <br />Based on what you said in your post, it appears that you agree with me that Amtrak needs to be allowed to sink or swim on its own. <br /> <br />Finally, I would like to say that where commuter subsidies are justified, the subsidies must be paid by the local jurisdiction. <br /> <br />Catch you later. - Ed
