    Who the fuck cares about “repayment?” Government services are supposed to provide societal good and compensate for market failures, not turn a profit.

      I think it should be fully publicly owned, but OP said investors should get together to compete with Amtrak, and those investors ostensibly want repaid.

        No, I meant amtrak can invest in itself. Taxpayer money shouldn’t be used to enrich corporations. Unless we’re buying shares and getting some control, perhaps.

          You do know Amtrak is not a private company, right?
