I live in California and have been tracking this scam since Diane Feinstein’s husband won the contract as major contractor. Actual estimated cost is estimated at $120 billion. There are about 12 million families in California. California could take the $120 billion and purchase a new Ford or Chevy for each of these 12 million families. That is what I would call mass transit.
If the cost was only 64 billion, that would make every California family, billionaires many times over. So why would anyone spend that kind of money on a guaranteed loser boon dogle. I guess sharing the bounty wasn’t in the cards.
...and if you were a billionaire wouldn’t you buy your own private jet and fly.
