How To Fix Amtrak? Split It In Two

Business Week's surprising solution: split Amtrak into one private entity focused on making a profit, and another public entity focused on infrastructure."It's time for a radical fix that recognizes reality: split Amtrak in two. First, Congress should spin off a non-profit, government-owned corporation to maintain its rails, stations, and other infrastructure. Then lawmakers should create a private corporation focused solely on running the rail system profitably."
