the additional train service starts at 11:50am today and as an introductory offer Amtrak is reducing the ticket price by 40% during June
having 3 trains in each direction everyday is a big improvement on the current two trains and it will be interesting to see if ridership increases as a result. The N&O article makes no mention of any subsidy but I am sure there must be one to induce Amtrak to invest in the additional service.

Amtrak is already subsidized by tax dollars. A couple billion a year IIRC.
