Running trains and electricity costs?

.... Now the revenue has dropped to the point that they have to increase the rate to support all the costs. So we conserved to the point that we got higher prices.

The exact opposite happens with public transit - the more that people use it, the higher the subsidies required to keep it operating. Which means that there's seemingly no point at which it will make money.

As for electricity costs, let's take a guess on what will happen when we all, at the government's urging, start driving electric cars. All I can say is that mine darn-well better be one that flies, too. They've been promising them for years.
