One quick question on this: You list Financial Coefficient and ticket price as separate collumns. I always figured that in game, the ticket price should be denoted in today's dollars rather than already with the financial coefficient factored. For example for 1901 it seems to me the game would multiply the coefficient of .00191 by the ticket price ($0.26) to get the ticket price in 1901 dollars. Therefore in game if you are assuming that the relative cost of a ticket in todays dollars would not change considerably over a long sim, you wouldn't have to change ticket price.

I guess it just feels like with your ticket price that the game would be factoring in the coefficient twice.
