I tried to make it fairly realistic. Obviously I would like HSR absolutely everywhere, but a line through middle of nowhere Montana probably would not see much ridership and would come at extreme cost (especially in the mountains).

    Bright line is also expensive ($80ish for Miami to Orlando) and has caused a number of accidents so far…

      agreed but still cheaper than driving? plus its new, as ridership increases prices will drop

        No not cheaper than driving… it’s $80 per person, per direction.

        especially if you have more than one person in your party.

        Gas for the round trip is about $50
