High Speed Rail in CA
So we have a ballot measure we'll be voting on to authorize a bond issuance costing the CA taxpayers $20 Billion to "prime the pump" and get a high speed rail project going between LA and San Fran.
I have never ridden on one of these. But apparently it's expected to cost about what a plane ticket costs, and take more than 2.5 times as long as a plane trip. What's the advantage?
Not to mention the fact that the state cannot afford it and fares are not expected to cover costs. Do any rail (other than freight I guess) make a profit in the US?
