Who cares if passenger rail disappears ?

Almost everyone I know cares. When faced with the facts that the federal government spends annually $35 billion on interstates that have already been built, $12 billion on airports that have already been built, $7 billion on buses that have already been built, what is a billion for Amtrak? Crumbs..... <br /> <br />When asked what they wanted government to do? All said they were for more infrastructure. For those that wanted less government, they wanted less taxes and regulations, but most of those wanted more infrastructure.... <br /> <br />When asked whether America should have a high speed rail network similar to Europe, most agree. In the polls I have seen, more people support high speed rail than they do Amtrak. Many people think Amtrak has been mismanaged. And why not? <br /> <br />Insisting on the daily transcontinentals running through some of the most barren areas of America is not bright. Having no plans to implement high speed rail in America to the major population centers is not bright. The people want other alternatives than the airlines and their car. They want passsenger trains, but they want them to go fast!!!! <br /> <br />When will this government give the people want they want? <br />
