libed there a bit and have this to say: to cover thise extra costs, they would have to charge a ridiculous amount per ticket. like double the cost if a flight to those destinations. and they do. $300 for a 5 hour train ride. so i can totally see this being profitable all costs uncluded. here's why i think they get customers. people don't like airports and plane travel, so they'll pay more for rail. car travel is unpleasant. cars are tiny and uncomfortable. their tolls are insane. like $50 in tolls for that same drive. less people have cars, and getting an license is a big expensive thing. they don't do roadtrips.
