Low profitability expected for Finland's west coast railway

A proposed railway along Finland's west coast is projected to cost over two billion euros with likely low profitability. The 360-kilometer "Aalto Railway" would connect several cities, costing an estimated 6-7 million euros per kilometer. While considered cost-effective compared to other large rail projects, its economic viability is questioned. A cost-benefit analysis is pending, but preliminary findings suggest non-economic reasons must be considered for its potential realization. Further studies are required before any planning can begin.
