I hear they are going to continue the train into the central valley. It's vital to the agricultural community. The same community whom they cut large amounts of water off to. Because it's vital to their business. Gee I've never seen a high speed freight train. Can't wait. No one wants to go to the fucking central valley.

dude...everyone wants to ride the train from Modusto to Bakedfield

and when you’re here Now but you need to be There by a deadline, all ya gotta do is



and regardless of surface street traffic conditions, you’ll be delivered just on time, as Expected.

Imagine being in a Van pool today with 49 others. Imagine taking 7 of those vans off the roads forever. Arriving more reliably, safer. Once dropped off, that drone continues to a new on-demand assignment perhaps taking another 7 carpool vans off the street forever. Then another, then another, Same drone.

If only somebody with aeronautical manufacturing experience would team up with an on demand passenger logistics company and develop something like this.

This kind of technology is interesting. I’m thinking (if done well), our cities would end up looking like the Fifth Element:



Problem is figuring out the traffic for all those drones/flying cars:

Okay so a high speed train project was started in Cali in 2008 by a Republican governor, and in 2019 Democrat governor announces its not a good use of taxpayer money and plans to scale it back.

So what the fuck are all of you alt-right wannabes buttfucking eachother about?

1996.

The high speed rail act (CHSRA) was passed in California in 1996.
