@JessTheUnstill Fund Amtrak like we fund the Interstate Highway System; & we'd have a bunch of fast, on-time, rolling palaces.

@Gorfram @JessTheUnstill And make airlines pay for airport/tower service.

I have done many 44 hour trips on Amtrak, a few of which turned into 60 hour trips, but, I personally had no regrets. My feel has been that they need multiple trains on those long hauls: some cities get 3am service: if there were several trains, they could alternate the smaller stops, improving net speed with fewer stops, and provide service at a reasonable hour.
