Where are you getting your figures? PTC costs for each of the major NE commuter systems and Amtrak were about $300 million each, not counting the recurring costs of maintaining the system and fitting ACSES to all future locomotives at 50k-100k a pop. Of course the real cost are all the trains that are delayed or slowed by an inherently unreliable system. PTC reduces capacity, full stop. Please explain why I should ride Amtrak when Fung Wah bus is half the cost and the driver can make up time en route. |
