Don’t 2 million people fly between Los Angeles and San Francisco every year?
- Rebelgecko 2y agoI think they're referring to Bakersfield and Merced
- nytesky 2y agoYes I thought I was replying to a thread about Bakersfield and Merced. LA to SFO would be worthwhile but probably much harder.
- eitally 2y agoThe ultimate plan is LA->SJ, which is a reasonable compromise and avoids a lot of the reasons why connecting to SF directly via HSR is impractical (it would essentially require a complete reworking of Caltrain to accommodate HSR trains, because there's no alternative anyone would accept to build another parallel rail line up the peninsula).
- Fatnino 2y agoThere used to be a rail line up the coast.
- stephen_g 2y agoNot sure what you mean - California HSR trains will go into San Francisco as part of Phase 1 (which is really the second phase, the Initial Operating Segment (IOS) I guess is like Phase 0). They're doing electrification and upgrades of Caltrain there to accommodate it.
