#this includes staffing maintenance of rail cars etc. #yet again I'm harping on the chicago to indianapolis thing #a coach seat costs $28 and the trip is about 5 hours #BUT my desired trip duration is to leave on Thursday or Friday and return on Tuesday #so I'm SOL #I would have to leave on Thursday and return on Thursday #turning a long weekend into a week #so I'm gonna end up probably paying like $200 to rent a car
