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).

    Question? Why can’t the silent majority start pushing these endeavors?

    FL has bright line But I’m unaware of other HSR in the states.

      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
