Train travel sets records

Amtrak is experiencing record ridership right now, despite all its well-documented service, infrastructure, funding and management limitations.  Amtrak also happens to be expensive for most people relative to car/bus travel and flying.  Nevertheless, ridership is soaring.  To me, this is a consumer-based condemnation of the horrendous state of the airline (delays, security checks, travel restrictions, airport commutes) and automotive (traffic, fuel economy, effort) industries.
