Or lack of experience. Want to go from Denver to Albuquerque? The shortest route goes through Illinois. I'd love to take Amtrak -- there's even a station in my city -- but anywhere I want to go, it's faster and cheaper to fly.

Even in the northeast corridor, it is usually slower and more expensive to Amtrak than it is to drive, let alone fly.
