That standard is actually far beyond what is needed to make the train better than driving because I-5 and whatever passes for highways around here are so bad. You can easily get stuck in traffic for hours crossing Seattle.
I though pre-covid the service had expanded to 3 trains a day during summer and 2 trains a day during winter.

With US pre-clearance at the Pacific Central station it makes for a great service.
