<p>[quote user="timz"]Did Amtrak claim to carry three times the airline passengers, NY to Washington? Or did they say total Amtrak passengers between NY and Washington (inckuding NY-Phila etc) were three times the airline total?[/quote]</p> <p>Here is the quote from Amtrak's national facts website:<br /><em>When included among U.S. airlines, Amtrak ranks No. 5 in domestic passengers carried.* In the Northeast Corridor (NEC), Amtrak has a very strong position in many markets that were previously dominated by air carriers. *Based on FY 2016 data; FY 2017 data forthcoming.</em></p> <ul> <li><em>Amtrak carried more than three times as many riders between Washington, D.C., and New York City as all of the airlines combined.</em></li> <li><em>Amtrak carried more riders between New York City and Boston than all of the airlines combined.</em></li> </ul> <p><a>https://www.amtrak.com/national-facts</a></p> <p>It is directly beneath the first table with 25 busiest bus stations.<br />Regards, Volker</p>
