The point is that if the quick train existed some people might use it instead of a)not going at all, b)taking the slow train/bus combo down the valley (my usual method), d)drive, or e) fly which wastes slots at congested airports better allocated where no other options exist like across the Pacific.Now, as to cost, much like our long dreamed of SAS, and EVERY OTHER major public works project of my 67 years, the cost will be seriously greater than whatever estimates are given. Its DOD/MTA/Big Dig/NASA pricing. Finally, even if the corruption/waste reaches over 100% as happened with BART ($792 M turned into nearly $2.1 B) I still want to build it and shut down the short hop air service. Just my one person, one vote. |
