Here in Canada I've taken the train from Moncton, NB to Toronto, from Toronto to Ottawa and Montreal, and Toronto to Calgary, AB. On the shorter trips I decided on the train because a 5-6 hour train ride is much more pleasant than the 1 hour flight to the same destination (when you include the 1 hour drive at each end, having to show up 3 hours before your flight, security theatre, etc.). The longer trips were an alternative to driving or taking the bus, and IMO train travels beats them both.Bus travel is inferior to what trains could have, but one thing's for sure, you can get to way more places by bus than by train. And look at the metro areas Amtrak doesn't service. Las Vegas (2 million people), Nashville (1.8 million people), Louisville (1.5 million people), etc. Clearly, Amtrak is in need of a dire revamp on more grounds than just making trains run faster.
