Right.  Having train travel target business travelers who are neither price-sensitive nor particularly time-sensitive is a choice -- a political choice.  For instance, when we say that buses &quot;can take advantage of a a road network that already exists and that they don&#x27;t need to maintain (other than whatever taxes they pay)&quot;, that doesn&#x27;t mean the infrastructure doesn&#x27;t need to be paid-for, it means someone other than the transit supplier is paying for it.  Why do we suffer this delusion that Amtrak should have fewer eminent-domain rights and take in fewer tax dollars than the highway system, and then act surprised that nobody takes Amtrak?<p>It&#x27;s like complaining that fruit trees die when you refuse to water them.
