I'd say for the cost of moving a small station, you could probably provide a free Uber or taxi ride for every passenger.
I’ve thought about that for the
Pere Marquette, which used to stop on the southwestern edge of Michigan City, IN but now rolls straight through. (Their station got relocated to the waterfront on the
Wolverine route near the shore where it sees several more trains daily.) There’s an eventual plan to move the train over to the shore route as well, but until then why not have a minibus meet
Pere Marquette passengers at MIC and bring them all to the old platform for boarding?

How about we move JAX? It isn’t near downtown, it isn’t near a highway, it doesn’t look like a particularly outstanding neighborhood, and it isn’t readily set up for any future expansions west to Tallahassee.
