> For example, California’s high-speed rail costs approximately $200 million per mile on the route between San Francisco and Los Angeles (hoover.org, 2022). On the other hand, the construction cost of the Beijing-Shanghai HSR was $11–$13 million per mile (mdpi.com, 2019). https://www.easycargo3d.com/en/blog/high-speed-rail-460-km-h...

Was just curious on how much public transportation you could have gotten for $540 million dollars, I guess the answer is it depends, either about 50 miles or 2 miles

Only 3/4 of a mile will be electrified. That's less than a minute of charging at highway speeds.

the article is very vague on the details of where the highway actually is, and the only map I could find is a ~15mb PDF [0] that took forever to load, probably because it's meant to be 60x30 inches when printed.

so here's a google map link: https://maps.app.goo.gl/iPjj2M2r2f3qnHQC8

that lake will be just north of the new road, which will run east-west between US 27 and SR 429.

it looks like it will run more or less parallel to an existing road (Schofield Rd) which is only one lane in each direction.

you could also drive 6 miles south and use US 192 (the W Irlo Bronson Memorial Highway) which is 3 lanes in each direction.

that seems like a strange spot for a ~4 mile toll highway but I'm neither a Floridian nor a traffic engineer so maybe I'm missing something.

Uh oh! Something went wrong with the previous request.
