I'm not a big fan of government transportation, especially trains. One of the least efficient modes of long distance travel, for every $50, the government sometimes kicks in double that in subsidies, a complete waste of taxpayers money.
However, I must say I am pleased with the new booze choo-choo. $100 in free alcohol for buying a special ticket on an overnight train.
Now Amtrak is a quasi private enterprise, its just injected with plenty of money from Uncle Sam. I wonder how the same government that rams the whole bullshit responsible drinking campaign down people's throats thinks about this.
