When I come into a great fortune, the first thing I will do is book all seats on every NEC Amtrak train between Wilmington and Baltimore, effectively cutting the NEC in two. There will be no rail service alternatives as this stretch encompasses the SEPTA-MARC gap.
Millions must fly!

Amtrak oversells seats that aren't reserved seating (so economy seats).

They'd take your money and everyone would still ride like normal.

If they oversell, I'd still be the one buying the tickets. Surely there's a limit and they wouldn't sell 200x the train's capacity.

They'll eventually catch on and start interpreting any ticket purchased by you as an empty seat.

Theyd immediately catch on if one retard books the entire vehicle.
