Suppose you just returned to Albuquerque from a trip to the United Kingdom. You were really impressed with the rail system but it seemed to be much more expensive than the Rail Runner. As noted above, a Rail Runner ticket is $10 for the approximately 70-mile trip from Albuquerque to Santa Fe. A similar train trip in the UK from London to Cambridge is £23.20. One US dollar currently equals 0.7 British pounds
What is the real difference in the cost of the Rail Runner in the similar trip in the UK using US dollars?
