DRAFT IMPLEMENTATION/BUSINESS PLAN <br />Working Paper of September 30, 1998 -- Page 3 <br /> <br />SECTION 1. OPERATING EXPENSES AND OPERATING REVENUES <br /> <br />Expenses for Operations and Maintenance <br /> <br />The following table summarizes the projected annual expenses for operation and <br />maintenance of each of the Phase II routes for the year 2005, as the first full year of <br />commuter service. Each route assumes service along its full length, and through routing of <br />trains from the first to the second of the Minneapolis and Saint Paul central business <br />districts. The through routing treatment also requires that the operation and maintenance <br />expenses for the line connecting the two downtowns, Route T, be subsumed in the costs of <br />the other six radial routes. This convention is also follo~ved in subsequent sections. <br /> <br />Year 2005 Operations in 2005 Dollars: <br /> <br />Route A to Bethel $ 6.5 Million <br />Route B to Elk River $ 8.5 Million <br />Route H to Norwood/Young America $ 8.2 Million <br />Route L to Northfield $14.6 Million <br />RouteN to Hastings $ 4.7 Million <br />Route S to Forest Lake $ 5.9 Million <br /> <br />Total Full Six-Route System <br /> <br />$ 48.4 Mitlion <br /> <br />Note: These figUres are based on a projected unit cost of $ 70.17 per train mile of <br />operation in year 2005, based on the study survey of start-up operations. <br /> <br />Fare Revenues <br /> <br />The following table presents the projected daily revenues for each of the radial routes for <br />the year 2005, derived from study ridership forecasts and fare structures, again subsuming <br />figures attributable to Route T connecting the Minneapolis and Saint Paul central business <br />districts. <br /> <br /> <br />
