France spends ~$15 million/mile for high speed commuter rail. Which means that line would cost $1.5 billion.

I don't think it's bringing in that many more people. Even when you amortize it across all of the little cities it would go through

Implying the line would stop at the town and not carry on to the next. Also, how much is being spent on building and maintaining freeways?

too much, which is why I propose dirt highways with 45mph speed limits. Low initial cost, drivers drive safer, and helps the towing industry grow.
