2. I support Amtrak
although I would love to see one like the 200 mph railroad they have going into Paris in New York in the near future. People can live 180 miles outside of Paris and be home in an hour. And the people on the train loved it.

4. I was disappointed in my last Amtrak trip
Edited on Wed Mar-16-05 01:32 PM by CindyDale
They need to make some accommodations for the handicapped and elderly. I took my dad on Amtrak a couple of years ago, and I was really afraid we wouldn't be able to get off the train at our stop. The staff didn't seem to pay attention to debarkation of the handicapped at all.

I still support public transportation, though.

edit: spelling
