That sucks.

I think extending to the westside is a good idea but an eventual Bronx extension is also something I had hoped to see eventually.

Sorry I missed that. I guess I should have a second coffee

The screenshot says that the new revised plans bell mouth still allows for an extension to the Bronx. I do not see how this,”fucks over the Bronx”

A single phone call asking a city council member or state legislator to vote your way on a specific legislative proposal has *significantly* more political impact than a social media post with 1,000 shares.

I have had the same issue using Apple Pay.

Yes but that testing doesn’t need to happen in California it could happen at the Pueblo test track.

I get that it wouldn’t have passed. I get that it is a more complicated section to build. I am not disputing that. And despite that I still think it would have been a better project for the first segment of an eventual statewide HSR network. But it’s just my opinion and I could be wrong

High speed trains are proven technology I don’t think the first line segment needed to be able to run absolute top speed to “test” trains. I accept that there were political restrictions that shaped the choices that were made. In an ideal world I think LA-SD should have been phase 1.

LA to SD is a stronger demand pair and the Surfliner probably needs a replacement anyways so I think it would have been smarter to start there. But at this point it’s too late and the state should just commit to finding the project itself imo
