We Californians just passed Proposition 1A which provides funding to build a high-speed rail network throughout California! There is some information on the rail system at http://www.cahighspeedrail.ca.gov/. I can’t wait for this to happen. I think that the outdated system of freeways and the current lack of viable public transportation is a terrible thing. Finally we can catch up to where we should have been 20 years ago.
Hopefully we’ll get a station in San Diego soon after the LA-SF track is built.The Co2 saved/trip calculator is cool.
the question is…will it actually get built? From what I’m hearing, this isn’t definitive. And even if so, counting all the delays and obstacles in getting it done….I’m guessing we’ll have already fallen behind again. Wow, sorry to be so pessimistic.
