but he's right, the tracks need to explore ways to take care of their off-track customers, lest they end up in the same mess as the usps for example.

Of course it is cherry picking. That's the beauty of statistics, you can show what you want in some respects. That's where spin comes in. So what it is 30 years, he chose a specific year. That's his right, God bless him and some of what he says is very accurate with regards to offtrack handle...I just don't think the numbers are that sexy to begin with.
2% inflation over 30 years is a doubling. And that's just inflation. Inflation is not growth. So let's hope they were at least able to tread water.
