I appreciate the response! I’m in marketing mode…do you have enough data to publish a theoretical Express and Regional timetable for BOS to WAS? I feel like the biggest initial hurdle is overcoming resistance to change at stations like Back Bay, Route 128, Metropark, New Carrollton, etc.

Read most of the report; it’s good technical work. But what are 2 to 3 value proposition arguments to Acela riders losing their one seat ride from Back Bay to NYP other than faster travel times?

We took boats along the pacific coast as there are places our guide took us with no real roads. The lodging places arrange pickups via Whatsapp. No public funding, all privately arranged. You have to wade out in the surf, they cut the motor, you get on, the boat takes off. It's just normal there.

Terrific to hear this. Do you have any details on the capital stack? I’m curious about the ratio of private to public funds in the deal.

Is 700k what Wake spent on Hunter, Cam & TLJ this year? (Assuming most of that is Hunter)

Great stuff! Is your 150-city spreadsheet available? I’d love to see which other cities are “over-drivers” and which are “under-drivers.”
