However, the professor claims that Amtrak is a non profitable service just to provide efficient transport service to people.

But the professor rebuts this argument by saying that with else Amtrak government also pay for the air-traffic tower and weather department in order to provide help to private airline companies. Also, without government help private companies would not exist.
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 The professor disagree with that and suggest that government should invest money on the improvement on Amtrak outdated service more people will prefer to use a fast service Amtrak train instead of their private vehicles.
