That's kind of like keeping the monorail between North Haverbrook and Ogdenville.
“Hes keeping the train between Bakersfield and Merced. So we wont need to use a plane between those two points. Maybe AOC will settle for that.”
Isn’t the driving time between Bakersfield and Merced about 2 hours? By the time you drive to the station, find a place to park, wait for a train(assuming it is not delayed) and go from the station to your final destination it will be longer than two hours.
And the cost of a ticket would need to be several thousand dollars for them to break even.
