[RITSlist] Fwd: Re: Plans are under way to extend Katy Trail to KC area

[tom klimczak]

  To drive or not is certainly your choice.
   
  The thing about drug dealers is a bit feeble, yet illustrates well the American aversion to public accomodations of any kind. Public accomodations are exactly that, for better or worse.
   
  As a public accommodation, Amtrak cannot discriminate against anyone who duly purchases a ticket and shows a valid ID. Various passenger types can be found riding its trains. Families with children, young folks, old folks, Amish, English, Danish,...heck, they even let lawyers ride.
   
  Like most folks, I drive nearly everywhere. However, I usually have a good experience when I ride any passenger train, even Amtrak. 
   
  The Builder is a fine ride. There should still be a morning and afternoon Zephyr though. One train a day from Chicago to the Twin Cities ain't enough...just my opinon (worth every penny you paid for it).

  I live in the present.  I drive.  Do not wish to associate with the drug dealers who use Amtrak.

I beg to differ.  You must be living in the past.  Most Amtrak trains are  booked in advance, or nearly so.  The last two trips to Michigan via  Chicago I couldn't get a business class seat, and I had take a later train  back once because the earlier one was full.  And I bought my tickets over  the internet in advance.  People are fed up with overcrowded, under-construction highways, high gas    prices, airline hassles, and all the other problems of our poor  transportation system.  The future is rail.
