Construction to begin on high-speed rail between Vegas and California
- JojoFatsani 2y agoI don’t know much about the rail network in socal, but why doesn’t it originate in LA itself?
- instagib 2y agoNIMBY is my guess and they need a car park or some transportation infrastructure at each stop for the passengers arriving. 2hrs 10min +50-75 minutes to east of LA is a distance but 4-5+ hours highly variable by driving is an interesting choice since you have a car at your destination. There is also going to be two intermediate stops in California at “Hesperia and one in Apple Valley.” So, 3.5 hours or so for guessing $100 one way versus 4-5+ hours at $40 gas 30mpg 220miles by car vs 1hr 8 minutes gate to gate $21-$60 to by air without including security. They mentioned a metro link stop for LA but nothing about a plan for quite a ways off the strip in Las Vegas. Maybe a shuttle stop on the airport - car rental return loop.
