I have complained for a long time of the emimination of most all perks usually provided to sleeper passengers. In fact its one reason I haven't bothered to travel on Amtrak for several years now. Reading the recent menus and lack of diner service on several long distance trains, one of which is the one that seves me, I got to wondering about the congress and its perks. I have seen the stories of the famed Senate and House dining rooms. I just read a report of the fine quality, matching nearly any high quality washington resturant. With prices far below those of fine resturants. It made me wonder if they would be willing to adapt the food provided on Amtrak for thier dining rooms? We should write our congress people with that suggestion.
One qualification for lowering or raising cost of passengers should require a yearly long distance trip aboard Amtrak for each congressman who is going to vote for the reductions while increasing the fares. In fact I think every congress man should travel by Amtrak instead of plane due to the climate change and findings that airplanes are among the most siginicant of all the various sources.
