NOT looking for a 'fight' - but if you offer a 'service' that takes longer, costs more, and provide poor accommodations, you really SHOULD go out of business. The blacksmith that made the best horse-shoes in town was two doors down from the 'new' Ford dealership.
We DO need a level playing field for ALL transportation - who pays for airports - who pays for roads - who pays for the property and up-keep of the rail lines - who pays for the dams that allow river transportation?
Amazingly enough, I think we have a 'Transportation Secretary' (Pete Buttigieg!) that could actually sit down and answer EVERY ONE of those questions.
Public transportation is a serious issue here - we need some vision and long-range planning, starting with getting people to "LET GO OF THE STEERING WHEEL!" As gas prices go all over the place we could see people considering 'alternate' transportation - but it needs to meet their schedule and needs.
