Honestly if there has to be corruption I'd far prefer building trains that don't justify it in usage capacity than the usual road and car kickback nonsense. In fact I think the whole idea of needing to justify cost with high ridership is capitalist bullshit. Are there a certain amount of people in an area? Yes? They should be connected by rail. Doesn't matter if the terrain the rail has to pass through is expensive in terms of construction. As long as it's bigger than a hamlet or small town of 1000 it should have some form of rail service or at least a rapid regular bus to a nearby rail station within 15 minutes ride.
