$31 in todays money so closer to $50 by the time it is actually running and the fair is adjusted for inflation right?

Utopia sure did, because of this (Wikipedia):
High-speed rail in Australia has been under investigation since the early 1980s.[1][2] Every federal government since this time has investigated the feasibility of constructing high-speed rail with speeds above 200 km/h, but to date nothing has ever gone beyond the detailed planning stage.
I’ll believe it when I see it

How about we build the bloody thing before bragging about the ticket price.
