Looks to be about 200 miles (approx .. give or take)

After looking at the map, I'd say about 20% would be at less than maximum speed, so a 200 MPH train would probably "average" 100 - 130 over the course, making the trip a couple of hours (or so) for a premium price

NOTHING in America demands such speed for a human to be in one place so quickly that a corporate jet couldn't do

By the time this waste of money (SOMEone's paying for all this "study") .. the Pipeline will have been built, operational and contributed to $1.00 p/gal gasoline ... why bother ?

The Texas bullet train will be capable of 205 mph. This means your journey between Dallas and Houston will take under 90 minutes.

Price is would be the difference. This is intended to be competitive with Commercial Airline prices with the belief of less hassles (time) than an Airport.

I have my doubts, but at least this one is private funded, they claim at least.

Pipeline or no pipeline, $1.00/gal gas is not gonna happen.
