Man 1 is traveling by car, a $16,000 compact he paid for with his own money. He will be leaving Milwaukee and ending in Madison at the Dane county airport.. The car will travel at 65 miles per hour for 87 miles. The car gets 34 mile per gallon and gas is $3.00 a gallon. The State transportation boards estimate is it cost about .003 cents per 100 miles for road building and repairs for a 14 year lifetime of the road.
How long will it take to get to Madison and how much will it cost to complete the trip.
Man 2 is traveling by light rail leaving Milwaukee and ending in Madison. The man will pay $8 dollars to a taxi to get the the station. He will by a 1 way ticket on a $60,000,000 dollar train that will cost him 28 dollars for his 1 way ticket. The train will then travel to Oconomowoc and wait 10 minutes at a 2.7 million dollar station. Then the train will proceed to Johnson Creek/Watertown and wait 10 minutes at a 3 million dollar station. Then the train will stop in Lake mills for 10 minutes at another 2.7 million dollar station. The rest of the time the train will travel at 90 mile per hour for the 87 miles. The states estimate is they will need to have 101 riders per trip to keep up with the cost on maintenance and fuel. Add in the estimate add 586 million to build and modify the new 87 mile track or roughly 7 million dollar a mile.
