After reaching large-scale operations, the price of a one-way trip between Shenzhen and Zhuhai will be about CNY200 to CNY300 (USD28 to USD42), Zhao noted, adding that a ferry ticket between Shekou in Shenzhen and Jiuzhou in Zhuhai costs CNY140, and the long-distance bus is about CNY100.

Damn. USD22 is roughly what I have to pay for a 1 way trip of just 15-20 km on the PUBLIC TRAIN where I live. This trip is about 50 km (I think?).

Yeah I thought this sounded bourgeois as fuck until I saw the prices. Pretty damn reasonable, assuming that they can get down to that target.
