You could substitute Southwest for a bullet train in your scenario, and the public wouldn't be on the hook for a white elephant.

I'm not sure how this spun off into Brown's train to nowhere (and I voted for him).
Yes trains need real estate BUT the tracks and stations are already there. Okay they probably need upgrading to handle a bullet train but the real estate is already there.
And flying Southwest (or any other airline) is a huge PITA not to mention a huge offence to you and your families dignity.
Now give me a bullet train to Vegas... now your talking! (or Tijuana
