Finally, the author posits that government should spend its money on majority used transport instead of Amtrak train which is only used by less than 1 percent of people. The professor disagree with that and suggest that government should invest money on the improvement on Amtrak outdated service more people will prefer to use a fast service Amtrak train instead of their private vehicles.
