Commenting on "$100 ticket to ride the high-speed rail to Sydney"
http://www.theage.com.au/travel/travel-news/100-ticket-to-ride-the-highspeed-rail-to-sydney-20110803-1ibp8.html
Is this a replacement of air travel? If so, why stops at other towns between Melbourne and Sydney. There is no transit stops between Melbourne-Sydney by plane. People drive to Sydney not because they just stop at the airport or train station. Car provides the convenience and mobility once they arrive in Sydney.
By my calculation, $108 billion is $61 billion plus another 77% variance. What a great estimation! Can we extrapolate this to say that the project could be delayed by 77% in time to complete or 77% more bureaucrats to oversee the project?
