to secure more funding for amtrak, we are goign to ahve to convince congress they are not wasteing there money on an unprofitable idea.
its our job to figure out a way to make them profitable. Congress might be then more willing to folk over the moeny to buy new equipment and money for new amtrak passenger rail track.
We need to make points such as, they airline industry could surive with the multi trillion dollar air traffic control systems.... amtrak can never get really off the ground if you dont invest money into it. no mass transit system is ever going to be undependent on government money, but if they system makes money, atleast in operations cost, they would be more willing to fund it i believe ... idk what are you ideas to make it profitable
