PUTTING THE PASSENGER BACK INTO THE LOOP

The importance of the passenger is being restressed--as opposed to the importance of the car, the plane, the highway, and the runway. The components have never been treated as an integrated system of transportation for the passenger. The existing subsystems are looked at, with a focus on the rejuvenation of updated high-speed travel by rail--the reality of Amtrak, especially on the New York-Washington run.
