Personally I think it’s still worth it at that price, even if the project would’ve been better done in the way I described. It’s better than the alternative. If we don’t spend $77b on rail we’ll still have to spend it expanding freeways and airports instead. and infrastructure costs are insane across all forms of infrastructure in the US.
- ananonymoususer 8y agoHow much would the train need to charge each passenger to earn enough money to pay both the interest (assuming normal cost-of-money) and the principle? Would this amount be less than the cost of an airplane ride?
