> 5,000 round trips, (per day)
Ok, let's see.. 5 days per week, 50 weeks per year (Holidays off)
That's 1,250,000 trips per year. To make it easy, let's say $20 per round trip... That's 25 million per year, which means it would take 8 years to pay back the debt, assuming you had absolutely no expenses at all, not one penny and 100% full ridership.
No expenses at all, and who in the hell would pay $20 per round trip? Uh, tell me again how this is going to work?
