Amtrak's unknown schedule?

Question

if you know it or not Amtrak has other plans.wonder why prices are so high amtrak is running locals instead of national trains write here if your outraged about this

Answer 1

Amtrak has got to be the worst passenger train company in the us you might as well fly cause Amtrak will delay your train almost 90% of the time for long periods of time

Answer 2

Amtrak is so far in debt that they were forced to cut back alot of long distance trains to save money  our wonderful government wont give them a loan to help out so that means less trains i myself am outraged by this cause train travel is better then flying in my book i will continue to use Amtrak as long as i can  cost is up also by the price of fuel

Answer 3

If you purchase your tickets in advance the fare is lower than near the date of the trip.  The "local" (I will call regional) trains operated by Amtrak are mostly operated for the states that contract Amtrak to do the job, and they tell to which level the fares must be put.

Answer 4

Amtrak has been looking for funding from individual states, with this system in place in most states, the states are sponsoring mostly local runs, so...  more locals for Amtrak!

Oh, yeah, and the Amtrak prices actually have not increased a whole lot over the past years, you just have to know when to buy.
