The same kind of math could have been used to "prove" why building the state highway system wasn't worth the investment, either. Also, no infrastructure project should every have been built, since none of them pay for themselves in direct revenue.
The trips are going to happen. We're going to have to spend a whole lot of public money no matter what, either in building/expanding roads, building more airports, or providing more cost-effective alternatives. I think rail is the better alternative.
