Why would anyone pay for his reports if they aren’t accurate? Yeah, I’m sure you think GM just throws away hundreds of thousands of dollars for a report that does them no good.

You still don’t get it. Amtrak buys say 20 new cars a year for all it’s lines. And replaces 5 engines every 5 years. They get lower prices on everything because they buy more. Close most lines down, prices go up for Amtrak. And you’re back to all taxpayers subsidizing it. There’s a reason ZERO corporations spend…

Exactly. Let’s say both trucks were headed toward a cliff and one would go over by 3 feet and one by 10, or the one with ABS can turn and not go over at all.

EcoSport is a horrible name. I felt cheap just sitting in it. Didn’t like the interior at all.

Once again, Amtrak doesn’t have a “northeast corridor” company that makes money and another that doesn’t. Amtrak loses money. Period. ALL taxpayers subsidises riders on Amtrak period.

It’s cost to transport 1 person. I’m not sure how you could get that wrong.

One full train, one empty train. How much does it cost extra for the full train to make up for the empty train?

Everyone uses roads. Hardly anyone uses railroads. Riding trains will always be more expensive. That’s why it dies in the USA.

Funny you should say that, 2012 was the year many Amtrak trains where replaced, and took it down to 1 route. The Acela route is about to do that too.

So let people with EVs not pay for using the road? LOL

So your theory is, there are as many people riding trains as use the road? LOL. PS. governments mismanage the federal highway funds, it’s not a lack of money.

I don’t have to do any of that. You should pay what it costs to do it in ticket price.

Not what AMTRACK says.

So you’re saying a Train gets the same MPG as a Toyota? LOL

Gas taxes pay for the roads. To bad the federal government has done a bad job on the road funds though.. There are not taxes on train rides that offset the losses..

Exactly. Your train goes down the tracks if there’s 1 person on it, or 1000. What do you suppose the average price of that is? The Acela express is one of the few that actually didn’t lose money, every other route loses money and is subsidized by people that never step a foot on those trains, from 40$ to 400$ per…

A car never drives empty down the road. How about your trains?

The study found that nearly 30 percent of fatally injured drivers tested positive for drugs other than alcohol, with marijuana being the main culprit.

Huge companies have already done that. Not sure where you get your information from.

LOL, how have the red states run anything in a blue state? I can’t wait to hear your circular reasoning.
