*I love AMTRAK and have been on many, many cross-country and to Vancouver, BC trips from Florida and New York BUT things better change soon or the American middle-class will not ride AMTRAK trains regularly! 1- Since many AMTRAK sations are in bad and unsafe neighborhoods (like Niagara Falls, NY and Palatka, FL) how about if the on-board personnel MAKE SURE to call ahead for taxis to be waiting at the station for the train's arrival so that passengers will not have to wait on a lonely platform for hours until a taxi comes! 2- AMTRAK must make sure that there are clean bathrooms with working toilets and door locks in every single car on every train and in every station. 3- Make sure every car attendant REMEMBERS to awake passengers before their station at which they are supposed to detrain. 4- Make sure that the air conditioning and heat works right in every car on every train. The middle-class will not ride regularly if these problems are not fixed right away. The passengers don't care about AMTRAK'S funding problems and mean bastards in congress and the White House who are unresponsive to AMTRAK's needs. They expect quality or their money!
