[quote user="conrailman"] Someone needs to fax this stuff to Congress almost 29 million people use Amtrak every year. Them people need to be show they that true facts of how many people use Amtrak every year.<img src="/TRCCS/emoticons/icon_smile_2cents.gif" alt="My 2 Cents" /> [/quote] The number of people carried by Amtrak was not 29 million.  It was approximately 29 million passengers, which is different than people. Amtrak carried 28.9 million passengers in FY10, but many of those passengers, especially along the NEC, would have been one person making multiple trips over the year.   I took eight trips on Amtrak in FY10, including four trips on the Texas Eagle from Temple, Texas to Dallas or Taylor, Texas to San Antonio.  For reporting purposes I am one person who made eight passenger trips on Amtrak in FY10.  The same statistical analysis, of course, applies to any form of transportation.
