Subsidies… Evil or sensible for airlines and trains?

Are subsidies there to protect profits or provide expand service into unprofitable circumstances or to artificially reduce a cost of a ticket so a greater % of the population can enjoy the service? Can we have that both ways? I think not.

Some subsidies are required.
Like for AMTRAK. Far too many people rely on it.
Those for Oil? They use these subsidies to enrich themselves.
Nope.
