Gov't shutdown's affect on Psgr. rail service in America?
Author: Molino

Just wondering if anyone has any info as to how the Gov't shutdown would impact Psgr. rail service?

No, not Amtrak, it's already "closing down!"

MARC/VRE/Amtrak would have a decrease in passengers around DC if it extends into the week. Metro too.

When was that announced? Is that because of the shutdown?

I'd assume since Amtrak collects fares like the post office collects money for services that it won't be affected in the short term.
