According to customer reviews, there are concerns about AMTRAK's service in terms of speed and efficiency compared to Europe and China. Some customers mention that the late arrivals have caused them inconvenience, such as missing important meetings. It is suggested that upgrading to high-speed bullet trains could improve the overall experience for passengers.

Amtrak Boston Buffalo recent customer reviews

AMTRAK can’t compete with Europe or China when it comes to speed and efficiency on modern trains. AMTRAK is still going at turtle pace, when it comes to the modern world. Unless its trains are replaced with high speed bullet trains, the greatness of America will be diminished.
