My cost to fly 200 miles (Seattle to Portland) is about $150 round trip; will high speed rail - with the still-coming spending on the lines - be less than that amount?
Amtrak already provides that service for only $58 round trip.
You’re forgetting a few facts there, Willie:
- That AMTRAK train is subsidized $80 round trip
- It’s slower than driving
- Your costs are only when the tickets are bought a month or more in advance; it doesn’t apply to 2-3 day pre-buys (like my airfare does)
So how much will it cost, Willie? What is the general number? You’ve never stated that - ever. I wonder why?
Seattle to Portland is a GREAT and very relaxing trip —
you arrive in the center of town. It was musch better than flying.
