Europe spends a fortune on rail, but often the cheapest way to get from A to B is via private bus companies. Those would work well in CA, but they receive little attention. Point to point private buses as now frequently used and receive no public funding.

If it ever gets built it will waste far more than $100 billion. Government estimates for these projects are always dishonest and way too low. Once construction starts there is incentive to finish it no matter what it costs.

High speed rail into the San Fernando Valley?....And just which route will they use for that? What an f’ing joke!!!

[dfwgator]

Which means in the end it will cost $300 billion.

Can’t wait to see this “high speed train” hit the Tehachipi loop at 200 mph!

[flatfish]

The only place this thing will be or can be "High speed" is in the San Joaquin Valley. Once it leaves Bakersfield headed south it slows way down from so called high speed! Not to mention all the freight trains that use the same track. High speed my ass!...
