>> UPDATE: Reminder: Amtrak Subsidies Pale in Comparison to Highway Subsidies

UPDATE: Amtrak carries almost no riders compared with cars and trucks. So, yeah, the subsidies are lower.

The bad news is that for Amtrak to carry more riders you'd have to add more routes which would require vastly MORE subsidies.

If they were financially attractive there is plenty of investment capital. The problem is they aren't.
