[quote user="daveklepper"] <p>Access for parts of the country for the handicapped and elderly and others who cannot fly.</p><p>[/quote]</p><p>Proponents of long distance passenger trains argue frequently that they are necessary for people who are handicapped, ill, unable to fly and unwilling to take a motor coach.</p><p>If this premise is sound, then it is incumbent on the government to run long distance passenger trains to every town and village in the country. Just serving those along the current routes leaves out the greater part of the population.</p><p>Amtrak relies on buses for numerous connections. Why are buses, which presumably are used by the handicapped, ill, etc., okay to connect with the train but not as replacements for the long distance trains that are used by a tiny percentage of the traveling public.</p>
