Cost breakdown (proposal-scale estimates — see math)

⚠️ All figures below are parametric estimates scaled from the proposal's own budget ($8.5T ÷ 17,000 mi ≈ $500M per mile), not engineering quotes. Methodology is shown so you can check the math.

Item	Basis	Estimate
Terminal construction	Large city — metro tier (range $2–4B)	$3B
Land acquisition	Regional factor 1.5× on $200M base	$300M
Track: Hollywood → Miami Gardens	7.6 mi × $500M/mi	$3.8B
Annual operations (share)	Staffing, power, maintenance	$60M/yr
Stop total (excl. annual ops)		$7.1B

Best terminal location (proposed)

The downtown Hollywood station district (Tri-Rail). Downtown Hollywood's Tri-Rail station anchors a beach-city downtown already investing in transit-oriented redevelopment. The terminal would serve the coastal corridor between Fort Lauderdale and Miami, capturing both commuter and beach-tourism demand.
