this is good
high speed rail is awesome and we've needed for a while. hopefully it expands over time.
I don't know when the agreement was actually struck, but good either way.

That's not a bad deal. I think trains are stupid out west but if Japan wants to put up the money and we get the jobs why not?
Northeast trains need to be upgraded and they get a lot of use. Japan sells their product.
Win - win
Time to stop the current Cali boondoggle super train. -
-
Only train I ride is called TRUMP TRAIN. It's made in AMERICA and going to roll over your ASS.

The California train is a great idea.
Actually some trains out west wouldn't be too bad because the land is relatively flat and it doesn't go through mcuh development so it's cheaper.

The Cali train is already billions over budget and year behind schedule and so far has a route between Bakersfield and FresnoPitchfork51 said:The California train is a great idea.

This is not completely factual but still -
Seattle to Portland, Sacramento to Bay Area, Bay Area to LA, LA to Vegas, LA to San Diego, Phoenix to LA, Phoenix to Vegas, Tucson to Phoenix. Skip the wasteland between Sacramento and Portland.

They are trying LA to SF but nobody actually wants the train to run through their town or neighborhood

When you stop and consider multi-passenger, on demand autonomous drone technology is in use and scaleable today, fixed point, fixed schedule choo choo train technology 20 years out seems rather silly.

It doesn't if you keep them above ground as a go between major metros that link to local rail transit.doogie said:When you stop and consider multi-passenger, on demand autonomous drone technology is in use and scaleable today, fixed point, fixed schedule choo choo train technology 20 years out seems rather silly.
If they are private the build time would be very low. -
Not enough riders to justify the ridiculous cost for all of these except possibly the Bay to LA.Mosster47 said:Seattle to Portland, Sacramento to Bay Area, Bay Area to LA, LA to Vegas, LA to San Diego, Phoenix to LA, Phoenix to Vegas, Tucson to Phoenix.

Dense urban areas only makes sense here. It works great in places like Japan, because no matter where you are, you're going to be sneezing on somebody.TierbsHsotBoobs said:

As a visitor to Portland, I appreciate the rail lines. San Diego is cool too. No DUI when you can catch the light rail from gas lamp.TierbsHsotBoobs said:

That being said, I've been on the rail from Albuquerque to Santa Fe and it's awful. I've used it in San Francisco and it works well there. The airport to downtown Seattle is nice but it's limited to just that basically.
Rail from San Fran to LA is dumb when there's 3 airports to the Bay area and 3 in LA area all with direct flights. Really across the west, rail doesn't make sense other than in some cities. -

Visitors like the trains in the cities you mentioned
But fixed rail technology is a couple centuries behind what we should be thinking of now -
2021 they open the extension that goes all the way to Northgate, with midpoint stations at Roosevelt and the U-District. Should help eliminate some of the traffic shitshow on I-5 and also make it easier to get anywhere from the U-District without dealing with slow ass busses.2001400ex said:

LA-SF high speed rail has to either go over a mountain range or along the coast through Santa Barbara. Only the mountain range option is under consideration. A white trash train from Bakersfield to Sacramento with a stop in Fresno works from an engineering standpoint but the redneck passengers couldn't pay the cost. The whole LA-SF high speed rail idea is asinine.RaceBannon said:

Excessive local veto power is also making a mockery of the project. Local groups in San Jose sued to block the portion of the rail that goes through San Jose (I think near Diridon Station) because they objected to the look of the architectural rendering of a particular rail bridge over a roadway.CirrhosisDawg said:

It won't help eliminate some traffic. The growth of Amazon, Expedia, etc. jobs downtown will just replace the cars on the freeway that will take the rail. That said, it's better than doing nothing with traffic.NEsnake12 said:

No DUI when you catch an autonomous Uber drone or Uber Pool drone. On demand, cashless, 24/7/365, limitless possibilities. available technologically today. Buildout is instantaneous. Could quite literally begin deployment in a matter of days and begin immediate scaling.
NO roads needed.
Fixed rail is a fucking joke. -

Amazon and jobs in the same paragraph, el oh el. Yeah Amazon will help with jobs and traffic. They will be putting so many more people out of work and into their basements that traffic won't be much of a concern in the future. #KillAmazon2001400ex said:
