It found that stations in poorly connected areas (less than 1.1) cost an average of $586-$740 per capita annually (due to fiscal inefficiency) compared to $159-$206 in areas with connectivity ratio around 1.3. We are subsidizing much more than the road costs Daniel. (Take note...This is going to have fiscal teeth).
