Demanding that a passenger railway be self-funding while also trying to massively increase its scope is... not a path for success. Unless I'm wrong you know of any continent-scale railways that bootstrapped themselves into success recently...?



A possible strategy is to use money from ticket sales to pay for priority, boosting on-time performance which increases the competitiveness of their product.


Do you really think no one has thought of this?
