Willie, I explicitly stated I did not include those costs! I explicitly stated I was talking about deployment costs only. And even without those costs it doesn’t make sense. How will it make sense when you add even MORE costs, and cut ridership by a factor of 10?

So rather than take a look at it, because you read wrong, you slam me for “hiding” something that I didn’t hide at all. The costs are insanely high, and I’ve proven it here. You want to argue semantics about irrelevant information because you cannot defend your choice.

You are being totally irrational. You are, in essence, being an idiot.

Simply keep increasing the ticket price to cover whatever other costs you want to add in.
Ridership isn't going to drop one bit as long as the fare is still cheaper than the airlines.

So let's see...
You're "deployment" costs are $26.67???
And that Amtrak ticket of yours was $134???

That must mean you need to come up with another $107.33 in costs before we have to start worrying about losing money. LOL!
