I'm not sure I agree with this. If revenue and ridership takes a nosedive and people take the time to link it to loss of services, then you can make the argument that you attempted to reduce your losses but the f&b is indeed a loss leader and vital to your operation. This was done on the the NEC. Cafe service was cut on the NYP-WAS service and ridership on those trains plummeted. The service was reluctantly brought back.The reality of the situation is ridership on the eastern LD trains will not plummet. Indeed, if they drop the price (which is why the Start looks so good on paper), it will flourish (on paper.)
