Anything but public transit huh?
...Amtrak loses money every year and needs over $30 BILLION for infrastructure upgrades around NYC that they expect the government to pay for
Amtrak is a quasi governmental agency. It has shares but the shares are owned by the Department of Transportation. The company was mandated by congress because the freight railroads saw that they were losing too much money transporting passengers. We need to be fully nationalized and funded. Some people dont fly.
Long computations which yield zero are probably all for naught.
