[quote user="schlimm"] And what is the context that magically changes the meaning of your statement?  It does appear to have some problems with syntax, which makes it unclear, with internal contradictions. [/quote] Here is the paragraph:  "Intercity passenger trains are not critical to the well being of the nation. They may become so in the future because of increased congestion and environmental reasons. If they went away, which I would not like to see, few people, with the possibility of those living along the NEC and in southern California, would not miss them. In those busy corridors there are viable alternatives.  Think Megabus!"   Lifting Think Megabus out of the paragraph is akin to claiming that a movie trailer is the movie.  Think Megabus was set in the context of intercity passenger trains not being critical to the well being of the nation. Just quoting "Think Megabus" is stating it out of context.  Intercity buses, as well as other modes of transport (commercial and personal) are viable alternatives. Megabus is a viable alternative.  And unlike Amtrak, it makes money. It either does so or it goes out of business. We have beat this topic to death.  It is time to move on.
