NYC to DC may indeed be "special," but methinks the NE Corridor isn't the only viable HSR market (of course, even Acela isn't "true" HSR, given its 150 MPH limit; faster speeds than this involve many challenges e.g. upgrading ROW to Class 8/9 where possible, catenary upgrades, higher-speed fleet, and of course the cost of any of these).As for price, I believe HSR is meant to compete with airlines so they'll probably be priced similarly (probably a bit higher); you're probably not gonna win much of the poorer crowd unless you run lower-cost local services making intermediate stops in tandem with the HSTs (e.g. the Acela - Regional model). visit my blog! |
