Ridership Projections • Based on Exhibit 12 Marketshare Projections • Given HSR marketshare of 53% when ticket prices are 50% of Air Travel • Assume uniform distribution between 48% and 58% • Assume loss of 30% of HSR marketshare when prices increased to 77% of Air Travel
Revenue Projections • Use Exhibit 12 Average One-Way Airtravel for SF to LA • Assume $130 cost in $2008 • HSR fares assumed $65 and $100.1 for the 2 pricing scenarios
Risk Projections • Summary of Risks • 1. Low risk in change of percentage in daily trips • 2. Highest risk in % market share due to strong impact in revenue • 3. Medium Risk in changing costs in airfare
Risk Factors for commuters traffic • Airfare is not a competition • Time for travel becomes more of a consideration • Highway congestion • Cost of daily commute for vehicles
