In 2009, XpressWest estimated that it will carry around five million round trip passengers in the first full year of operation, with the company charging fares of around $50 for a one-way trip between Victorville and Las Vegas. In 2012, the round-trip fare was planned to be around $89, with trains expected to run every 20 minutes on peak and up to every 12 minutes as demand requires. As of 2020, the stated frequency is 45 minutes between departures.

PS: trains don't go "choo-choo" anymore.
