Can’t WAIT. Not trying to hate on you… but do you really think 20k would be worth that? I could see if it was like 50k+ more a year. You would have to drive to the train station, lets say 30 minutes, train ride, hour, then depending where you work in the city it would probably be another 20-30 minutes between the subway ride and the walk. So your looking at a 4 hour round trip commute. And youl be paying gas to get to the train station, train ticket down to the city, and monthly subway pass which is 100+ now days. Also, there’s no way the highspeed rail tickets are gonna be cheap. From my experience, the regular train tickets are around 45 dollars one way. --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/northway-facing-intolerable-future/262877)._
