Of course any Amtrak passengers to RNO will probably be on the CZ because the bus-train combo is $10 more expensive, which is a significant difference considering the CC dosen't even have reclining seats. I really don't know why people still ride the train here when the roads are clear, Amtrak needs to NOT be five times more expensive than the bus while so much slower.
Besides, my frequent 2-day runs to SF would be totally impossible on Amtrak, which requires me to spend a full day each way trying to get there and back. That's major issue for me which would not be solved by more trains unless they provide an overnight train like SP's old Sierra.
Image probelms are one thing, but Spirit Airlines has a terrible image and still makes money and carries lots of passengers. Besides, old dog's nicer than Spirit.
