Nothing more than Socialism for suburban Austin and the eastside hipsters.

Anyone want to bet on how big the per ticket subsidy will be after 1 year? The over under starts at $20.00.

It would be quicker to drive downtown than to drive to the closest place so I could get the train.

Besides, many Texans and Austinites simply are not willing to give up their vehicles. Pickups and such.

NM Rail Runner fares ABQ-Santa Fe are $7 one-way, $8 round-trip. These are only about 12-14% of the O&M costs and the taxpayers pick up the rest. However, even then the service is $750,000 in the red for this year so far.

I doubt if the Austin line can match the NMRRX line for scenery and the high priced ad below cannot be aimed for the everyday commuter.

Click on the image for an ad for the NM Rail Runner. Due to the budget deficit mentioned above, the late Saturday service mentioned in the ad has already been discontinued.
