EVERYONE I know wants to hurry to Madera.

“Bullet-train to MADERA, all aboard..!!”

I understand the first leg of the high speed rail is going between Fresno and Bakersfield, 110 miles. Not a lot of commuters between those two cities. But that’s the only section that could be started, considering right-of-way acquisition and environmental issues. It will be a decade or more before this will have any value for California. Big loser, and we’re paying for it.

And they’re putting in a high speed ferry in Death Valley.

Nancy Pelosi’s husband got the bid to build the boat.

Biggest financial disaster in Kalifornia history. Moonbeam’s legacy, don’tcha know.

In honor of the patron of CA high-speed rail, Governor Jerry Brown, the project should be known as the ‘Brown Streak’.

The ironic thing is that all they need to do is add a lane to I-5 for buses and they’ll get all the benefits of the train, but at 1% of the cost...and the same for passengers, the bus will be much, much, cheaper than the train will ever be.

I think this is great, I am already planning a Ballot Measure to move ALL State Offices to Fresno and require ALL Public Servants and Court Officers to exclusively use Public Transportation to and From their respective work place or Government Office.

The Brown doggle is the biggest waste of money since the Great Society. I remember after the train was approved some idiot engineers were saying “gee we didn’t realize that we had to go through the mountains in the Grapevine”. It will never be built.
