They clearly state right in the article:

> A one-way ticket initially will cost $10 compared with a trip on Uber that can cost $40 or more.

The price will go up after people are addicted to the convenience and luxury if it's superior to the alternatives.

Why is this downvoted? Even on Brightline's website they say the $10 fare is only for an an "Introductory period"

> Real-time fares are displayed online and vary based on demand, day, time, service (Select or Smart), cities and Special Requests. During our introductory period, rides as low as $10 one way will continue to be available, but only for limited trains while seats last. Book now!

Yes, they've effectively said the prices will go up, especially during peak times.
