I’ve taken the Cardinal four times and the only upsides were no TSA inspection (which they’re talking about changing) and no size limits on luggage. Other than that everything was a fucking nightmare. Like, overflowing toilets with turds sliding around on the floor of the bathroom, 8 hour delays, departure time at 3am… bad. The first time I took it for the experience, the second time I took it because, “well shit happens right? Maybe it was a fluke.” It wasn’t a fluke. The only way it would be worth it would be if tickets were like $30.

Nationalize the rails.
