Additional information in the comments for the second link I posted relating to Amtrak.

kightp pointed out that the study was done by a group which is known to be a right-wing think tank with a vested interest in proving that government is always bad and privatization is always good. She also pointed out that it's using data from 1990, before the (private) US airlines went to hell and (private) Greyhound launched its program of eliminating bus routes serving most of the rural US.

edit: and, apparently it's a libertarian think tank, not right-wing. (courtesy of crazypills in the comment linked to above)

Could you please correct the fact that the Cato institute is NOT a right-wing think tank? I'm sorry you felt you had to delete my other comment, but could you please not misstate the link I pointed out to you? Thanks.

Delete?

What are you talking about? I haven't deleted anything...

Correct to what, please?

Gosh, maybe I was confused about which thread I was in. I apologize!

I'm not sure how it got deleted, as I didn't think anyone but me could do that, but I went to the previous post and got the correction from your comment there.
