On the other hand, when customers use a product every day, the effects of a redesign can be jarring...
...proposed plan that would connect Chicago, St. Louis, Detroit, and Madison, Wisconsin with a network of fast passenger trains. And, while, Amtrak’s trans-continental lines may be the object of ridicule, ridership on the Acela line has grown rapidly as fuel prices have made air and car travel less attractive to business commuters.
