Geez......

I just realized how expensive everything is getting lately. I just looked up how much it would cost to go from my town (California) to Pennsylvania (pittsburgh) and it's like 400 to 500 dollars (depending on the day you go) and then I went to Greyhound which I thought would be like major less expensive. There's is about 300 to 350! And the companies wonder why nobody wants to go with either the bus or train???? Especially in light of all the terrorist threats?? I would think for the train it should be about 200 dollars. The other day I looked up how much for planes and there's actually a flight from San Fran to Pitt for like 180 ROUND TRIP! Unfortunately I really hate planes and my dad isn't willing to drive to San Fran.

I just can't believe some companies can't get it through their skulls. So the question of the day is......do you think it's too expensive to go by train or bus long distances???

The answer is yes.

The reasons are many. For starters, they use up fuel and that's expensive. Second, they have maintenance costs. Third, they have to set a price so that if the vehicle(bus, train, or plane) isn't full to capacity, that they will still have a slight profit or little loss.

Forget the terrorism. Why are you afraid? How many people have died in the US of terrorism since Sept. 11? Besides, your a Christian. You have a pretty good idea of where your going when you die so you shouldn't be afraid of going out of your house.

Fear is for people with phobias anyway

Seriously though, I agree. Trains and busses are WAY to expensive in the states. THe UK now... that's about the only thing I really liked better about that country compared to ours. They have a killer public transportation system.
