More people don't use Amtrak today because of significant gaps in point to point travel, but filling those requires broader public demand to justify adding routes, but new routes can't be justified because more people aren't using Amtrak today.
At some point the risk has to be taken to add routes to get more people to travel by rail and get out of the rut.
