It's better to incentivize airlines to provide better and cheaper options from OKC when possible. More important for the future of passenger rail in Oklahoma is extension of the Heartland Flyer's current route to at least Newton, KS (to meet up with the Southwest Chief) - and doubling the frequency too - as well as a train from Tulsa to OKC (and eventually down to Lawton, too).
