So if the price of tickets are comparable the SF to LA high speed train will have to sell over 1 billion tickets to break even! Oh, and construction of the thing will take 30 years. That’s good thinking Barky!
Selling 1 billion tickets a year won’t be a problem. Just require every resident of the US to buy three tickets a year. Those who don’t will have to pay a penalty—but as long as it’s called a tax it will be legal.
