The proposed price tag of the high-speed rail corridors is estimated to cost at least $60 billion, and possibly more than $100 billion over the next decade or two. This is all so negative!
In fact, the bullet trains will pay for themselves, and the math is plainly evident on this.
All we need to do is to charge $100,000.00 per ticket for the first million riders, then raise rates slightly from there.

The real problem is ridership... I'd personally ride on since I don't want to deal with the airport security nightmare. Anything under four hours and a train ride is the ticket.
