Here the regional rail (blue) costs are sigificantly higher than the bus (red) baseline. However in 2019 septa had a entierly different fare structure for regional rail than for busses or trollies. The rail system was zoned so longer trips cost more. If instead we look at the operating ratio—i.e., how much money a line makes compared to its cost—we see that the mode split goes away, and that there is much less of a correlation with ridership.
