[quote user="oltmannd"] [quote user="John WR"] [quote user="V.Payne"] What of the people that can drive but just not at night or not can't make it a long time in the car without frequent stops for medical reasons.[/quote] To what extent do we provide for people with impairments that make using other kinds of transportation difficult?  Some years ago I knew a lady who rode Amtrak.  She worked full time but had a back injury that made flying simply too confining for her.  She had been on one flight that was so crowded that at the end she was unable to get up from her seat and had to be carried off the plane.  For a few days she had do deal with a lot of pain.   The ability to get up and walk around on a train and to move freely about was important to her.   As we get older many of us loose certain abilities we once had.  The extra room a train provides can be important.  This can be particularly important on long trips.  There are people who, if they can not take a train to a distant place, really cannot get there at all.   <div style="clear:both;">[/quote]</div> What if she needs or wants to get to Mt. Rushmore? [/quote] Or Brownsville, Texas?  Or the hundreds of Texas communities that don't have passenger train service? Because there is no viable market for it!
