Can’t wait to see what the fares will be for the approximately ten people per day who will ride that route.
Bakersfield to Merced. $5,000 one-way ticket. Leaves once a day. Takes 3 hours (you can drive it in 2-1/2). And they’ll still have to subsidize it $2 billion per year to keep it maintained and running.
They could have rebuilt all of CA-99 fifty times over for the money they wasted.
And people why we hate government.

He said in a video that some people call it a train to nowhere but that it is unfair to say that. I can’t imagine that the train will be crowded. Maybe it was just a payoff to someone. I don’t live anywhere near it, so I sure won’t be using it.
Only thing that makes sense to me is maybe it’s to bring in cheap labor from the valley to the future amazon distribution center in Bakersfield.
