…And roads and schools don’t get funding forever?[/quote]
Road funding comes from gas taxes (not general fund).
To do the same to high speed train, you will have to charge 300+ for the ticket (see above) and no one will use it.
In general for most transportation user pays.[/quote]
Precisely. It only costs $160 to $170 (reg price – not sale price) to fly RT from BUR, ONT, SNA or SAN to SFO on Southwest Airlines ($120 – $140 sale price). Whether one flies or rides a train, they will in both cases have to get picked up at SFO or rent a vehicle there.
