He is not counting the parking that the passenger has to pay. Then get transportation at the destination.. Plus all of those stops..
“He is not counting the parking that the passenger has to pay.”
Right: I was taking his figures at face value. My point was that even accepting numbers that the author offered, one could rationally conclude that high-speed rail was cost-effective for a certain slice of the population so long as it saves even 1 minute of time. So maybe it’s only people worth more than $5,000 an hour. Just because a group of people is small doesn’t mean we shouldn’t protect their right to tax-funded high speed rail, does it?
