[quote user="UChicagoMatt"] Travel will always be part of the equation. People enjoy travel and much business must be done face to face for closing lots of deals and for in-person inspection of materials and documents, etc. Lots of local commuting can be eliminated; certainly highway miles reduced with ride-sharing and more public transit options. High-speed rail is ideal for regional travel. It need not "make money" to actual make money by eliminating travel delays, soaring highway construction and maintainance costs, and flight delays---all cost money and productivity.[/quote] Airlines are required to make money, or they go out of business, as per the large number of carriers that have folded over the past two decades.  Bus companies, truck companies, barge companies, cruise companies, etc. are required to make money or they fold.  What is it about passenger rail that exempts it from this economic model?
