“Total HS. this won’t be faster than my driving by car and that is with my usual stop just before I go over mountain.”
No, the train will be much faster. It will get you from LA to SF in, maybe, 3 hours. You’ll never drive it that fast.
...of course you’ll need to live right across from the train station, and your destination will have to be right next to the train station in SF, in order to still beat driving.
I have zero faith this this thing will only take three hours.
I use to live in Centervile, DE(just one mile from Joe Bide).
The train was about the same travel time to NYC, BWI, DC or hell....Charlotte.
The only reason I took the train to NYC was for weekdays when parking would suck or if I just didn’t want to drive, which was never.
My friend liked the train and we’d take it when she wanted and that was rare.
Pretty sure I’ll beat whatever the real average time is for a train and that includes parking, waiting, train maybe leaving on time, rental care at destination and then getting to wherever I’m going.
It’s why I never fly to LA. from San Jose I’m almost always going to be there about the same or faster and I don’t have to sit next to some schmo who is petrified, sweating, talking about Shiite I couldn’t care less about and his fat ass trying budge its way into my seat.
That’s just me and my experiences though .....
