People who fly first class on planes are allowed to drink during their flight. Why would it be an issue for riding a train?

Does the Fed law forbid carrying alcohol onto public transportation in your belly too?
No it does not.

DOT regulations state that it is against Federal Law to smoke or consume/carry alcohol on public transportation.
By allowing the sale of alcohol in terminals you are endangering the lives of other passengers and when you have bus operators picking up passengers att these terminals you are causing them to violate Federal Law.
As a driver of a motor coach you put the burden on me to enforce these laws and refuse service to anyone that has been drinking . Alcohol is the #1 problem on public transportation..

Get on the Party Train. You could do a poker run with out the Harley. Too bad the cities and towns would not benefit from the revenue. The stations not pay the revenuers??

If people can legally pour a highly toxic chemical into their bodies, there should be a smoking car and area for people who enjoy cannabis.

Which would you prefer to have to deal with, a rowdy drunk, or a mellow passenger?

Alcohol = The Devil’s Sin Brew

It’s promoted as being refreshing, take your shoes off and relax drink, have only one, you deserve it.

The billboards will not show you the lives and families that Alcohol has destroyed.

Two Thumbs down for alcohol at the train station.

Having solved all other pressing issues including joblessness, homelessness, and gun violence, alcohol will now be allowed at train stations.

Well, just sayin’ we are in no immediate danger of DOR (Drunk on Rails) riders.

Perhaps the gambling interests could put slots and table games onboard the train cars and serve alcohol while riding the rails.

This should certainly enhance the train ride experience; Nothing like a bunch of drinks to entertain you while you are waiting for a train.
