Personally, I don't have a problem with paying for comfort and good
service. Today an airline passenger has to pay five to ten times
coach fare to get decent service and comfort.


So what's the problem then? Comfort and good service is available for those
willing to pay premium prices, and cheap fares are available for those that
just want to get there.



Those who fill the skies with unnecessary discount flights might
better take the train. Then there'd be enough rail passengers to make
AMTRAK solvent, hopefully, and there'd be impetus to improve train
service and equipment. Just a thought.


Gee, there's a great example of government run transportation.
