<p>[quote user="dakotafred"]</p> <p><span style="font-size:small;">Also: We are used to sam1 beating up on Amtrak for failing to cover its operating costs out of the farebox -- for undercharging, in effect. Is it fair or consistent of him to also jump on Amtrak for overcharging on Acela?</span></p> <p><span style="font-size:small;">It looks to me as if Amtrak is being smart, for once, by not leaving money on the table. Surely sam1, of all people, salutes the principle of willing buyer-willing seller. </span>[/quote]</p> <p>No problem with willing buyer-willing seller. The problem is the seller is offering a heavily subsidized service to premium customers who would not in all probability pay the fully recoverable market rates.</p> <p> </p>
