NYP-WAS on Acela is under 3 hours, unless there are delays (I rode Acela round-trip on Fri and it was under 2 hr 50 min even with the stop in Metropark). Also, minimum price for a one-way Acela NYP-WAS ticket is $145.AFAIK depending on seats available and other factors, price varies as follows: MIN -- $145 / $169 / $194 / $218 / $242 -- MAX* *Prices $109 higher for first class. To add to R30A's point on patronage, the Acela Express trains (along with the Regionals) actually turn a profit thanks to high ridership. Hence, there is a demand for HSR; the key is investing in heavily populated corridors conducive to demand. visit my blog! |
