I noticed the following posting and wanted to share with you.
I'am just surprised that public transportation, especially electric trains and subways, are not included in this relief package.
There is stimulus bill moving through Congress very quickly. The Senate is hoping to act this week.
The airlines are asking for $45 billion and the airports are asking for $10 billion
to help them overcome the drastic reduction in travel in the last two weeks.
Fast, frequent and dependable trains are just as important as airlines in keeping the country connected.
Amtrak, Brightline and commuter railroads are feeling the same impacts that the airlines are.
It is urgent that you get a message to Congress today:
