And the high speed rail cost to get there.
“And the high speed rail cost to get there.”
They should cut that cost as the passengers have to get out and push. (So much for high speed) Only 171 miles of the 494 miles is currently under construction under phase 1. But there’s good news, 463 miles of it it is all environmentally cleared and construction ready. So they have a lot of dirt. And even if they get it completed, with the little time they have and the need for cutting costs to get it done, parts and labor, at least by pushing it the passengers won’t be on it when it jumps the track at 2 feet per passenger speed. (If they can get a full train to push and the national guard, the Campfire Girls, and the firemen/women as they don’t have anything to do with no water.)

There was no admission charge to view the ancient Olympic Games in Greece, as they were a religious festival held in honor of Zeus. Spectators sat on the sloping, grassy, and unreserved flanks of the stadium for free, primarily bringing their own food and supplies.
The event was free, relying on civic funding and patronage. The venue was a sacred site with temples in Olympia. While entrance was free, the journey to the sanctuary of Olympia, which had no permanent population, was a pilgrimage.
The ancient Greeks initiated the Olympic Games in 776 BC at Olympia, a sanctuary site dedicated to Zeus, the king of their gods. Although the Olympics we see today differ from the ones celebrated by the Ancient Greek Empire, the Olympics highlight passion and extraordinary feats of athletic prowess.
