Looking for investors. (Hypothetical Statement; Request my e-Mail me for more information)?
How would you profit from such a rail link? Would you try to charge the airlines that benefited from the link or rely on just the fares themselves? No rail projects have been built without significant subsidies from the federal government. How do you propose to convince the government to invest in the rail at a time when they are facing a technical default, wouldn't contributions to such a project be more likely defaulted upon? Are there less expensive alternatives, Rail can easily cost between 20 million to 200 million a mile with a high speed rail more likely at the upper end, wouldn't a PRT solution which ranges from 2 million to 20 million a mile be a better idea despite the status of essentially being unproven technology? What opposition will operators at Newark, JFK and LaGuardia be likely to mount to such a project? Wouldn't airlines that have a competitive advantage in terms of gates at these airports be opposed to the devaluing of their advantage by opening Stewart International to the market? Can a right of way be secured for such a link and at what price?
