[quote user="daveklepper"] <p>Discounted fares for those with handicaps and proven medical problems that truly prevent commercial flying, especially veterans. [/quote]</p><p>If the argument that Amtrak should provide service to people whose handicaps and proven medical restrictions prevent them from flying is valid, it should serve every community in the United States with a population of more than XX. Fill in the numbers. There is no logical reason why handicapped people in Lubbock should not have the same service as handicapped people in Austin, TX.</p><p>If there is a viable market for long distance passenger trains in the U.S., private enterprise should provide the service. They can run it as a seasonal tourist service.</p><p>If Amtrak was permitted to drop its long distance trains, the savings would grow to an estimated $59 billion by 2050, which would pay for more than a few miles of improved corridor services. </p>
