Greyhound, Megabus, Boltbus etc can add and adjust routes as needed without needing to wait for someone to build a track or politicians to approve money. They see demand and BAM there's a bus showing up to whisk people to their destinations. I love Amtrak (Empire Builder ftw) but let's not neglect the buses. Lots of them now have an electrical outlet for each seat to charge our cell or iPad and free Wi-Fi. The goal is transportation, right? So we should be mode agnostic and not just fixate on trains.
