"yes the bar car makes money on one or two trips per day the other 4 trips that same day its loosing due to lack of seats."

When the bar car sells enough units to cover all the costs of having a bartender on board, thats the standard the beancounters use to justify the bar car existence (AKA profit).

On other runs, there are usually enough seats for everyone with the bar car in the consist. I've never seen standees on a New haven train running in the off hours because of the presence of a bar car.

Besides, how do you lose $$$ when the passenger has bought a ticket, seat or no seat?
