Actuallly, the standard one-way fare from Raleigh to Charlotte is only $25. However many discounts are available for seniors, students, veterans, etc. etc.
That's a lie. The passenger might only pay $25; however taxpayers cover the rest of the ticket.
You're a thief, Willie.

Actuallly, the standard one-way fare from Raleigh to Charlotte is only $25. However many discounts are available for seniors, students, veterans, etc. etc. The roundtrip fare Belen-ABQ-Santa Fe (200 miles) on Bill Richardson's $450 million dollar railroad is only $9 with discounts available. Farebox recovery is 9 percent; taxpayers (local, state and federal) pay the other 91 percent. Only a couple of thousand people per day ride, many state government employees. A new Republican governor should be elected in November and hopefully will inject some reality into the fares.
