Amtrak Funding Restored
Filed Under United States | Leave a Comment
The SF Gate reports that “House rejects cuts in Amtrak funding, some warned trims might lead to shutdown.” The United States House of Representatives approved an amendment to more than double the proposed $550 million dollar funding Amtrak would have received.
I believe that Amtrak does more good than harm. Furthermore, I am quite pleased with the decision because I am understand more and more, with each train ride, how vital mass transit. Amtrak provides more than transportation for people to go from coast to coast.
It offers a service that no automobile could provide, a relaxing, scenic view of America and its incredible landscape. I cannot describe the feeling when I see the sun rise over the Sierra Nevada Mountain Range into the San Joaquin Valley.
And that is something I wouldn’t be able to experience without Amtrak.
