> People in America refuse to use Amtrak for travel.

People in America are diverse, with diverse preferences and needs.

I love taking Amtrak, and happen to live on one of the cross-country routes. I prefer it to airline travel in all ways. Clearly, the routes are sparse, so it does not always work out for me. But as a remote software engineer, I can work from the train, I can relax and read a book, and watch the scenery go by. The extra time it takes is not a problem. It is a great change of pace to sitting in my home office.

There certainly are people who disagree, but generalizing that the whole country refuses to use the service is simply incorrect.



When the number is 99%,I just round it up.
