Forget about High Speed Rail, and improve the existing product. People are using it in increasing numbers.
Here are some stats for increases from 07 to 08 for some upstate stations:
Albany 7.3 %
Schenectady 9.0%
Rome 13.4 %
Utica 13.3 %
Syracuse 27.2%
Rochester 26.1%
Buffalo-Depew 22.7%
Buffalo-Exchange 26.9%
Not bad,, and FWIW, Albany was the 10th busiest station in US, serving 830,000 riders!
Gotta wonder why we are not talking about an intermodal station in downtown Rochester ?
