Everything you said is exactly what is going through my head as well. EAS I'm sure is a VERY touchy political issue and I've noticed before that there are several locations with rail service running exactly the same route with fast enough running times to make subsidizing the flight pointless. But you're under the belief that in general, the operating cost of a rail line serving many of these corridors would be greater than the flight subsidies? Even if it were 2 or 3 of these airports on the same line? What are the financials behind some of the lines operating in Illinois or any other similar EAS vs rail example you can think of? |
