And tell me again about how this is high-speed rail? It also has a ridership that's a small fraction of BART.
Would it be too much to ask for you to get a grasp of basic facts before bashing California for its efforts? California did better with the system it built half a century ago than Florida did in 2017.
P.S. The word is "Democratic".
- justinzollars 4y agoI’m sorry I live in California Brightline is the name of the line. The point is Florida could build it California can’t, even in 20 years time we won’t have it. And in regards to efforts, it seems a money laundering operation more than a construction project.
- Bud 4y agoPure guessing and speculation. You have no idea what California will manage and what it won't. As for Brightline, that's another joke argument: it's privately run! It's not public at all! So it cannot possibly prove anything about what "Florida" can build. Right? So what's your point? Right now, it runs between Miami and West Palm Beach, btw. That's it. So climate change will wipe that out soon anyway, along with most of Miami. Postscript: it's also not "high-speed" rail. At all. It fails to meet even "the lowest high-speed rail standard set by the International Union of Railways" as of now, which is 200kph. It's about the speed of car travel.
