Proposition 1A says: * San Francisco–San Jose: 30 minutes; this would require about 100 mph (160 km/h) on average * San Jose–Los Angeles: 2 hours, 10 minutes; this would require about 200 mph (320 km/h) on average Which is rather uninspiring compared to traveling by air, and somewhat worse than the Nozomi Shinkansen travelling between Tokyo and Osaka. The slow leg between SF-SJ reminds me of taking the TGV from Paris to Nice. The part between Marseille and Nice took just as long as from Paris to Marseille. With all that said though, I would still take the CA HSR once it is built and I am looking forward to its completion.
