The really simple answer is running more trains with more cars.


In June of 2021, Amtrak lost ~$836,200,000 providing ~1,665,300,000 passenger miles, or a loss of ~$0.502 per passenger mile.

In June of 2022, Amtrak lost ~$724,500,000 providing ~3,381,000,000 passenger miles, or a loss of ~$0.214 per passenger mile.


Really running more trains on existing lines and/or increasing capacity on existing trains will help with this. Of course we all know there are equipment shortages, but if amtrak had the equipment this would be the best way to go.
