Public Transit
Had the occasion to take AMTRAK service from Raleigh to Charlotte yesterday.
$26.00 One way
3:15 minutes
Power outlet in my seat
No WiFi
Billed every second of my time on the train, working dilligently and uniterrupted by distractions like not killing myself by taking my eyes off the road.
Everything about the train was awesome, except both Raleigh and Charlotte blew the easy part. Neither the CLT light rail nor the Raleigh local bus service made even a passing attempt to make itself accessible to the train station.
Should the Feds bully locals into hooking their ground public transit to AMTRAK?
