Seems very 'Trumpian' on poster said. We're in an anti democratic slide. appalachiablue Jan 2020 #3

Hard to believe. I thought fares had to be published and if changed/etc., had to be commented... SWBTATTReg Jan 2020 #2

on, published, etc. before being finalized. $25 K? I find this ridiculous and maybe a violation of the ADA? Good grief. Crap, hire out a van, hire a driver, but not this nonsense, and file a discrimination suit against Amtrak.
