Especially when it's the most heavily subsidized form of transit, 10x the subsidies that the next closes method of travel, air, receives. Almost 1/3 of the average Amtrak fare is government cheese.

Amtrak from Southern Pines to Newark, NJ or NYC is cheaper than driving for one person.Takes about 2 more hours but you can relax instead of driving.
