The commission behind this train estimated tickets would be $20 per person one way.
Perhaps the price would be $20 but the costs would be much more!!
After reviewing a cost analysis for the Wisconsin HSR, Florida expected the costs to be somewhere in the $80 to $100 range. Oh, and the little tiny $3 billion dollar price to be paid back to the Feds.
“WISN 12 News obtained a copy of the Wisconsin DOT federal grant application. The DOT estimated one-way tickets to Madison would range from $22 to $33. But, the conservative Cato Institute calculated the cost to taxpayers would be much higher with a $68 per ticket subsidy, bringing the real cost of a one-way high-speed ticket to nearly a $100.”
One way to nowhere!!!
