Why do you not worry about the sustainability oh the high way system this is many to alleviate. Trains are vastly more efficient than roads which are almost 100

  He's talking about sustainability via usage. The highway system has no shortage of that. Unfortunately climate change is not yet an economic model; trains are. I know there are monorails (outside of Disney) that Florida municipalities spent a lot of money on but are rarely used (for a multitude of reasons). I don't think the revenue even covers the cost of maintenance in many cases. I think he's referring to that. I remember talk about a train that goes down the 95 corridor from Jax to Miami. I'm not sure whatever happened to that.

    Yes. That's it. $10 isn't going to cover the costs. So then where is that money coming from, and who's going to pay for it? Add in rising oceans and it looks more like a skam or some sort. To be clear, I like the idea - less cars, more trains But in this case something isn't adding up.
