Florida, parts of Texas and California, and the NE Corridor are equivalent to certain parts of Europe. For Denver to LA or Chicago to Newark, however, air travel makes a lot more sense.

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?

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.

DC to Philly is perfect. Downtown to Downtown in less time than flying.

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.
