How about the largest USA cities (metros) without daily services? How about starting with the largest metros first and work our way down the list?
(5) Houston, (12) Phoenix, (28) Cincinnati, (29) Las Vegas, (33) Columbus, (36) Nashville, (44) Louisville, (53) Tucson (54) Honolulu, (55) Tulsa, (64) Knoxville, (66) McAllen, (68) El Paso, (69) Allentown, (70) Baton Rouge, (72) Dayton, (78) Fort Myers, (79) Colorado Springs, (81) Boise, (86) Madison, (87) Wichita, (88) Daytona Beach, (89) Des Moines, (93) Augusta, GA, (95) Melbourne, (99) Scranton, and (100) Chattanooga

Come on Amtrak, you can’t provide daily train services for 27 of the top 100 metros in the country? Only one of them is impossible to reach half way across the Pacific Ocean. That still leaves one in four within it daily rail services.......
If you reduce the scope to the top 50 metros, 7 of them don’t have daily rail services either, and 4 of them have no services at all. Just looking at the data and judging by numbers alone, the next cities Amtrak should provide some rail services to are Las Vegas, Columbus, Nashville, and Louisville.
