[quote user="oltmannd"] [quote user="Sam1"]Their role is to plan train and connecting bus service.  The development of the Thruway bus system, with the latest flowering being in North Carolina, suggests Amtrak has some notion of planning beyond the rails.  [/quote] California blazed this trail and NC followed in their footsteps.  However, it was not Amtrak the pushed this.  It was the states themselves. [/quote] Unless one was at the executive table when the idea of using Thruway bus service to expand the reach of California Amtrak's trains was birthed or has access to the minutes or one or more of the persons present, it is impossible to know who initiated the idea. Especially when dealing with the regulators, but vendors as well, our company planted an idea in their minds so as to cause them to believe that it was their idea.  People are more likely to take ownership of an idea if they believe that they originated it.  Also, in many instances, a concept is born and developed from multiple inputs, each building on what the previous person said.  At the end of the day it is nearly impossible to say who originated the idea.
