Montclaire posted:Unfortunate, but I do understand where they are coming from. Amtrak is funded by tax dollars and they do have a responsibility to use them wisely. There is no reason why a national trucking company can't fill the gap, and use it as a marketing tool.
Just my two cents but I am all for private companies becoming human again and acting like they are part of the community. We can't expect the government to fix everything for us and we all have to (should) work together to make things like Toys for Tots happen. Not a political statement, just an observation.
I don't understand this move by Amtrak and I am offended by it. Bear in mind that ALL public transportation is government funded by our tax dollars. Government operates the airports, roads, bridges, tunnels, highways. Government owns Amtrak , some rail lines and the majority of state corridor rail, the city buses and subways.
