I believe Texas Central sees profits with express services, and losses with shuttle services. Texas Central wants profits, not losses.
But, in both Dallas and Houston, there are transit agencies that could subsidize shuttle services from suburbs to downtown.
While Amtrak's NEC supposedly turns a profit, I wish to point out that MARC, SEPTA, NJT, LIRR, MetroNorth, and T services do not.
