The ticket each way between Raleigh and Charlotte is 50.00. How are you going to get to work from the station?

Actuallly, the standard one-way fare from Raleigh to Charlotte is only $25.
However many discounts are available for seniors, students, veterans, etc. etc.
There may also be special rates available for frequent passengers/commuters.

I read 50.00 in the paper last week, but I’ll check.

That's a lie. The passenger might only pay $25; however taxpayers cover the rest of the ticket.

You're a thief, Willie.

The $25 dollar one way fare for the 168 mile trip from Raliegh to Charlotte is a subsidized fare and NOT the actual cost of the trip. People think they are sometimes getting a “bargain” on a train trip, but they have paid a whole lot more when the tax-payer funded subsidies for the rails are added in.
