its not even powered by magnetism how could I love it? Just because the electric motor uses magnets doesn't make it a maglev.

But Greyhound's so much cheaper.
Hell, even a plane ticket is cheaper than Amtrak most of the time...

I wanted to take an Amtrak train from Florida to New Mexico. It had to go to D.C first, and would take 5 days. Fuck that.

Honestly...you would choose a bus-ride over a train-ride ?
They have observation bubbles.
And beer.

Airplanes also have beer. And you don't have to spend days on the plane. Just hours.

You gotta search for the right routes to get the cheaper rides...
a ride from let's say, New Orleans to New Mexico might have been significantly cheaper.

I was looking at $300 for a 50 hour train-ride that practically brings me to my doorstep Vs.
$650 on a plane that still requires 5 hours on a train (for another 50 bucks)

one time i was riding amtrak (my first time riding it) and thought it was going to be similar to the metro in DC where you get on without any checked bags or inspection or any shit like that.
well, turns out they have police dogs there (bomb dogs, but who knows if they have a drug dog or two) and cops everywhere and i had plenty of marijuana in my bag. i didnt have to get it checked (if my bag had been that large and i found out i had to check it i would have said fuck it and not even gone where i was going) but i had to sit in a waiting area for an hour and a half because the train i was going to take was full so i had to take the next one going where i wanted to go.
they had some video playing over and over and over on TV's in the waiting area about the police force and dogs they have "for peoples safety" and in my state of mind all i heard was "BIG BROTHER IS WATCHING! WE HAVE DOGS EVERYWHERE! TODAY IS THE DAY YOU GO TO JAIL MOTHERFUCKER!!!"
it was not a pleasant wait at all.
that was the last time i rode on amtrak.

Amtrak killed my good friend, Ran him over while he was walking home on the tracks with his head phones on. Knocked him 20 ft. from the back of his house. Tragic accident, but I'm still not very fond of Amtrak.

Well any accidents involved with a train is gonna be blamed on Amtrak - I don't know of any other trains...(there are probably some)
Those acidents in relation to all the people that have died on airplanes combined... 
...and you can't use a train to take out a skyscraper
