I'm sure they meant 75m gross, at best.

Which, even if that's true, I'm still laughing at him because it hasn't fixed the traffic.

It's like someone said they'd fix the US healthcare system and then bragged about how much money their health insurance company is making in response to people saying they did dick all to fix the system.

no, what he forgot to count were the state subsidies that pay for all of the expenses including building and operating costs and supplement the profit so that it makes it worth it for the investors to even bother in the first place
