You are not only right...but.....you are 1000% correct and right on the money!!! Anyone that supports high speed commuter trains is not with the program and is minus a total brain!!! I can write a ten page “white paper” why “high speed rail” is a total farce, fleece and scam, from A-Z!!!

No sane passenger would ride from their home to a train depot, board a train and take a two hour train ride from Dallas to Houston, where they have to rent a car, and drive to their final destination, when they can get in their auto and drive to Houston...directly to their destination in about four hours total, or, even easier and faster, get a low fare ticket on Southwest Airlines or another air carrier, drive to Love Field, Dallas and be in Houston in just about one hour, flight time!!! End of story!!!

Government Funded Bullet Trains Will Connect American Agenda 21 Megacities

The high speed rail­way is the brain­child of Amer­ica 2050, a non-governmental orga­ni­za­tion that sup­ports Agenda 21 poli­cies in the US.

The nice thing about a free market is that people get to make their own decisions per their needs. There are clear advantages to taking a train -- you can do work while traveling (hard to use a laptop and drive at the same time), and flying has all of the parking/car rental hassles of taking the train, plus the added joys of TSA screenings and an inability to use a cell phone while flying.

I have no idea if this venture is financially viable -- I'm skeptical -- but I can see why it might make a lot of sense to business travelers.
