Rail Runner ridership debates hinge on cost and benefit
Train fares bring in about 2.4 million annually while operating and maintenance run 26 million. Four-county gross receipts taxes and federal funds cover most costs, with 28 million yearly debt service and 110 million in balloons due 2025 and 2026. Critics question density but shutdown or sale talk has waned as stations attract investment. Senator Sharer advocates more marketing to tourists. A 2015 study warned bus substitutes are costly, and a sale is unlikely due to debt and tribal-rights concerns. Professor Rowangould notes avoided highway costs and safety benefits.
