44. If I took the Amtrak Acela, which I'd love to do on a regular trip I take...
I would be un-surprised at my complete impoverishment. That ticket reflects the full cost of the infrastructure plus interest on bonds probably dating back to the 19th C., something that can't be said of car sticker prices or the price of a gallon of gas.

So it's an extra hour plus on NJTransit and SEPTA from NY to Philly. Or I should stop being an un-American deadbeat and indenture myself to the planet's dominant species, the personal car.
