The thing is it can be quite profitable for the biggest possible VC firm out there. The government.
The Interstate System spurned so much economic growth and thereby new tax revenue. Weve just pissed it away on stupid shit and have failed to maintain critical bridges and things like that.
And smaller roads. The routes that are ideal for trains already have the overloaded highways that are already too big to maintain rain and cant scale to traffic: just one more lane, bro?

Yes, they just have to “run it at a loss”. Instead of trying to drive up the fares trying to reach “profitable” levels.
A lot of the savings should come from reduced road deterioration and lower road maintenance costs.
