Actually, the bill is neither complicated nor perverse as far as any bill from Congress goes. It is just tedious to sift through all the text. The Amtrak and Transit part is pretty straightforward.

The document is all text, so the size is only 3.6 MB. But it is 2232 pages long, so it has a LOT of text.
