Not enough people use it so the fixed costs are higher per passenger. That’s the concrete reason but it’s decades if not a century at this point of subsidizing cars and highways instead.

It becomes a cycle. We had that problem in Orlando. The “high speed” rail It was too expensive so nobody took it which made it even more expensive. I’d love to take a train to Tampa and do some gambling, get drunk, take a train back.
But not if it’s way more expensive than driving.
