No customers and never will be customers for the service. In europe there is high speed trains but the discount airlines are killing it taking market shareIn Italy, I rode around on train for two weeks last spring. Most people opt for the afordable regional trains over the expensive high speed trains. Plus many people opt to fly city to city. In the US check the lines for the bus to boston, philly and DC. Those riders speak with thier pocketbooks. Amtrak would need to seriously lower the ticket price . I LOVE TRAINS. In the past year I dragged my wife to ride the train everywhere we travel (most of the time as a joy ride) the list includes TGV high speed paris Paris metro RER Prague Metro Ukrane Metro London Underground Munich U-bon Naples metro line 1 and 2 Napes Finicular Naples - Sorrento (Circumvesuvian Train) Bangkok metro and skytrain Milan Metro High speed rail in the US outside Northest is not viable and never will be. |
