The FIRST thing he needs to do is SCRAP the 18th Century antique steel on steel that was SHOVED ON US, and bring it up to date by making it all Maglev technology! 

Then, to add TRANSPARENCY to the operation, he should voluntarily and publicly cut his (and all other executives)  wages in half! And while he's at it, Mayor Caldwell should be forced to accept a 50% reduction in pay & benefits to help pay for it.
That would go a long ways to restore faith in this fiasco called Rail!
