    Passengers with severe allergies?

    Many stores, like Walmart, have spaces in the parking lot set aside for "Handicapped/Disabled" and you must have a permit to park there. However, the same requirement is not in place for using the electric "handicapped" carts inside the store. hat is the reason that, quite often, legitimate...

    Should transit be free?

    And that is being diminished with the advent of electric cars since they don't pay for gas. If the perception that transit (mass or free) is only for those without cars or, in some other way, is connected with "the poor" - there will not be any "lavish spending" on transit. Before the funding...

    Should transit be free?

    Not all of us wear such devices - after all, they are an added expense that, if worn just to pay fares, would take a long time to pay for if even if using them reduced fares. It should not be an "either-or" situation between "affordable/free" fares and reliable/frequent/convenient routes. Both...

    Winter storm related delays and cancellations Winter 2022-2023

    Not so hard if you are using the numeric keypad (not the numbers above the letters) and not looking at it. I know my keyboard, unlike those on some actual calculators, does not have any tactile bumps on the number pad so you know where your fingers are without looking.

    Passengers with severe allergies?

    Only problem with this would be that some pet owner would most likely sue for discrimination for being told which car to ride in and win their suit while a person suing for not having a pet-free area would lose a similar suit and we would be right back where we are now ... leaving Amtrak with a...

    Passengers with severe allergies?

    Since we are including other allergies - two that I have can come into play with the train: NutraSweet (neotame, Aspartame) - I often have to check the ingredients of edibles because it is not always indicated clearly on the label that a product has this ingredient. Tobacco smoke - particularly...

    Passengers with severe allergies?

    Of the times I have ridden in coach, I did see some who had cold tuna with them ... I have not encountered any cooking seafood or having hot seafood with them. Would keeping a mask on (think Covid mask) alleviate the possibilities of someone eating seafood near you - no one will be cooking...

    Winter storm related delays and cancellations Winter 2022-2023

    Sounds like having the "old-fashioned" split-rails could be a better idea.

    Winter storm related delays and cancellations Winter 2022-2023

    Is it possible that cancelling the train is not actually Amtrak - that the cancellation is actually due to problems with or direction from the host RR? Also, in the recent past, there have been some Amtrak trains that experienced delay and stoppages due to weather and it made the news - BAD...
