Amtrak
Pros: Affordability easy and simple. Cons: By installing star link to all trains for free Wi-Fi, also build a two separate tracks instead of one track taking turns with freight as priority. More train routes connecting all major cities. Also could leave open train stations for passengers so they feel safer. Maybe by using an auto opening code for the door so passengers can enter while keeping others out. Tips: Bring snacks, enjoy your trip.
