      I'm not sure how true this is across Japanese railroads. JR East and Central, which I think are the biggest privately owned railroads, make way more from running trains than real estate/retail https://www.jreast.co.jp/e/investor/ar/2018/pdf/ar_2018-04.pdf … https://global.jr-central.co.jp/en/company/ir/annualreport/_pdf/annualreport2015.pdf …https://twitter.com/kimmaicutler/status/1078171664087699456 …

      Hong Kong's MTR used to make more from transit than from retail and real estate, but lately that's flipped: https://www.mtr.com.hk/archive/corporate/en/investor/2001srpt_e/F203.pdf … https://www.mtr.com.hk/archive/corporate/en/investor/profit_en.pdf … (cc: @alon_levy)pic.twitter.com/nzN4l6U6Vr

      What Japan calls "private railroads" (the ones that were always private, not the privatized ex-JNR companies) do seem to have learned hard on real estate and retail, at least around Tokyo Tobu: http://www.tobu.co.jp/pdf/ir/investor_info/ar2017.pdf … Seibu: http://v4.eir-parts.net/v4Contents/View.aspx?template=ir_material_for_fiscal_ym&sid=52191&code=9024 … Tokyu: https://www.tokyu.co.jp/ir/english/upload_file/m000-/9005_2018020815015304_P01_.pdf …

      This is a fairly recent phenomenon though – in the mid-1990s, Tobu and Seibu were making way more from trains than from buildings http://www.ejrcf.or.jp/jrtr/jrtr10/pdf/f02_sai.pdf …

      Can't find Osaka area railway financials, not sure how they make money nowadays. But, noteworthy: transportation-centric JRs have less regulated fares (Shinkansen fares are free market, commuter fares not), so diversification might be a second-best strategy when fares are capped

      I always thought fare caps were a mistake for commuter railroads. They have insane crowding, and market-clearing fares could fix this in two ways: 1) rush hour premiums could shift ridership out of the peak, 2) more revenue could enable the construction of relief lines

      While commuter RRs have capped fares and can't build new lines w/o subsidies, JR Central is spending $81bn of basically only its investors' money to build the maglev. Fare caps may encourage railways to shift spending away from transit and into real estate, worsening crowding

      How are their HSR costs per mile?

          And why are you so disdainful of California doing trains?

          What do you mean? I mean, America in general doesn't seem to do trains very well, but I would like it to do better!

          The maglev is almost entirely tunneled and will cost around $284m/km. So it's like 3x the cost of California's project per-mile but *much* more challenging (more challenging terrain, entirely new tracks even in dense city centers, trains that literally levitate)

          Outside built-up areas, Japan has low costs. The 50% underground Shin-Aomori extension was ~$55m/km.

          But they also single-bore tunnel using pressurized train cabins; here they twin-bore to avoid booms from trains passing at high speed.
