DC to NYC is about equal. Retiree snowbirds from DC like the auto train.

Cross country has nice scenery.

Every time I look at Amtrak I’m shocked at how expensive it is.

Why do people actually use it? I'm serious. What's the benefit over flying?

Nostalgia maybe?

A cross country trip on Amtrak IS the vacation, not the destination

Some people don’t feel comfortable flying.

I think a cost to cost train ride would be fun but not at those prices.

Cost? Freudian slip?

So trains are a cool novelty but inefficient mode of passenger transit. Shocking

They take up space that could be used for freight. Complete waste of resources.

I don’t think we can completely compare the US to European countries or Japan

That's what I mean. In certain regions, the population is comparable.
