    Tell me you’ve never used Amtrak without telling me you’ve never used Amtrak. Waiting on the train is not the part that takes time. There are no security checkpoints or any of the security theater that goes on at airports. You don’t have to arrive 45+ minutes early to a train.

      I’ve been on Amtrak before. I also remember it being that there were very specific times you could get on and off, which don’t align with many people’s schedules.

        I’m glad you agree it should be better funded to actually serve the needs of the people who want to use it and offer more trains with more lines.
