Government money inflates the price of any project. More and more people need a bigger slice of the growing pie as time goes on.

This project is like 2 decades old at least.
There are a ton of problems with it, mainly stemming from legislation.
It's not a nationwide issue.

I did the math btw. The length of the railway will be 494 miles. That means the cost per mile will be 467 million dollars. Divided by 5280 feet per mile. 90.000 DOLLARS PER FOOT of railway mile. You dont get this kind of blatant corruption and price inflation even in corrupt African countries.
