Just think how much all of this money could have benefitted all of those poor “immigrants”

This is just the first segment and they’re already 50% over. By the time it became a reality, it would be 200, 300, or more percent over budget, and then they’d want to expand it.

Add in the annual operation and maintenance costs that will never be covered by fares

Its the White Elephant of Golden State liberalism run amok.

The State of Indiana will soon have something similar in a couple of core counties around Indianapolis.

It won't be as grand; just local bus service; but WILL require non-riders (taxpayers) to subsidize it.


I guess they didn't learn the lesson from the WhiteWater Canal so many years ago.
