I can fly from three convenient bay area airports to three convenient So. Cal airports, plus San Diego in an hour for $58 with proper planning. Why would I waste my time on high priced rail? This is stupid.
Stop making sense, you fool! This is California! We do things that are “awesome” so others will, like, go: “Oh wow!” “Dude: a train?? Awesome!” “There’s like, no global carbon warning footprint, dude! Totally green!”
