I'm not sure about other countries but one thing Amtrak has over planes is that they're more disability accessible. Still making improvements on legacy equipment but they're under the ADA, whereas airlines lobbied themselves out of it, which is why they never bothered to create wheelchair spaces or accessible bathrooms or even seats a normal human can occupy comfortably.

tbf if airlines had to serve people they could not be profitable

you say that but could you say that to an A class shareholder on the verge of tears over not being able to retire at 50 they might even have to work
