Okay, thanks for clarifying. Sounds like the issue is specific to the NER sale bucket on Sundays and not the generic thread title. Remember that these started as "temporary" sale fares about four years ago to capture more of the discretionary market who might otherwise take buses. It's a bonus, not an entitlement. If raising fares does hurt ridership, I'm confident that Amtrak will adjust accordingly.
