So the cars will magically disappear and make room on the highways for buses? I think you made that up.
People riding on buses are not also driving cars at the same time. I am not making that up.
First show us where it says the cost is $500,000 per seat, because I think you made that up.
The lowest projected cost of CHSR is $58 BILLION dollars. No one believes that number, and even the most fervent CHSR advocates have now admitted it was a lowball estimate. But for the sake of argument, lets use it. The plan is to run 100 trains with a capacity of 1000 passengers each. $58B/100,000 = $580,000 per seat.
