Since light rail and trolley buses are a relatively small portion of total transit travel, the overall average of 25 cents a passenger mile is also roughly correct. So transit costs 84 cents per passenger mile, nearly four times the cost of driving. Transit fares average 20.4 cents per passenger mile (interesting how the transit industry keeps fares close to the actual cost of driving), so the subsidies are nearly 64 cents per mile.
The Atlanta Falcons are playing their final season at the Georgia Dome in 2016, and fans should be very pleased about that. Not only are they getting a brand new stadium for 2017, but concession prices are going to be some of the lowest in all of sports. The Falcons announced the cost of several items at the forthcoming Mercedes-Benz Stadium on Monday, including $2 all-you-can-drink soda with self-serve refill stations and $3 nachos, pizza and waffle fries.
