Mobile Mayor Pushes for Covered Train Station | Huntsville News

Mobile’s mayor is racing to finalize a plan for a covered Amtrak Mardi Gras Station—possibly repurposing unused Convention Center space—before the city’s subsidy expires in two years. While the popular train service has smashed ridership records with 100,000 passengers and strong revenue, critics argue Mobile shouldn’t fund operations Amtrak should shoulder. The mayor’s vision includes boosting ridership through seasonal stops and coastal marketing, aiming to secure the route’s future without overburdening taxpayers.
