I have always felt that Amtrak's main problem is that, although they hit the major population centers, they don't go enough places to make those suitable destinations for people who don't like in those centers. I have to drive 4 hours to get to the nearest Amtrak Station. Then pay an exhorbitant fee! <br /> <br />I think, and I beg you to differ, that we sould have regional local service that feed into these HUBs and that provide commuter service to and from those centers. <br /> <br />Tracks will have to be laind, relaid if you will, and scientific planning will have to go into schedules to make these thing pay off. I do believe that regional rail corredors have a better chance at viablily, due to small size and management, that feed into the large centers will improve ridership of the Transcontinental and multi-Regional routes. <br /> <br />If you disagree, pleas eprovide a solution that we can come to a compromise on. <br /> <br />Capt Carrales
