2009 - $10.2 million in revenues, with 4.2 million riders?
It only cost about $2.50 to ride the train?
What did I miss?
The rest of the video.
Interestingly, if one wants to read up on low speed trains, one need look no further than the latest letter from Warren Buffet to stockholders.
He and his investors own a low speed rail, and he speaks more than once on the capital expenditures necessary to keep the rail viable and operating in a low speed environment. The railroad moves over 40 percent of all freight carried by truck or train in the US.
Companies pay a premium for the “stuff” that earns them a living, transported by the BNSF railroad. I hardly think your average human is going to be paying a premium for a ticket to nowhere that has little or nothing to do with making a living. Unless you happen to work for the railroad.
Long read.
