This author is so out in left field it is ridiculous. He doesn’t back anything with references and just lies.
First he tries to say, “Without a decision on the route, the speed of the train cannot be determined”, but then totally contradicts himself by stating “Of course it will take about five hours to do what a plane can in two, and only an hour less if we drive our own car.” Can’t have it both ways bud. Besides, HSR is mandated by law to travel from LA to SF in 2 hours and 40 minutes. As for the car travel time comment, have you ever been on the freeways in LA and SF? It is a parking lot. It will take you hours just to get across the LA basin in a car.
Then he goes on to say you wont get much speed in the central valley because the speed is restricted through the cities, along with the delay of stopping at all the cities. Total BS. HSR has no speed restrictions through cities and apparently DARRYL MANZER has never heard of, or just can’t comprehend what an EXPRESS train is. Not all trains stop a all stations.
Darryl then complains about the possibility of not getting a HSR station. That’s funny, because all the articles you write bash HSR and how it should be stopped. Again, you contradict yourself.
And one of the last lies he states is that HSR will have a TSA check. WRONG. Not even the Acela Express on the east coast has TSA checks. Then goes on to state “And parking for your car and renting a car at your destination and getting your baggage and … what time savings?”. Well Darryl, what do you think you do now when flying? HSR will bring you to downtown city centers, unlike flying.
It is time for this author to take his head out of the sand. Darryl needs to get a grip and stop making up lies about HSR and get over being bitter because the vote on Prop 1A did not go the way he wanted.
High speed rail is a great alternative to flying and driving.
BOONDOGGLE! Word of the year!
He should worry more about our water shortage …then a dumb bullet train ….Water is more imprtant. …Governor Brown. .
I agree, we should join the lawsuit, or make our own.
Maybe the bullet train can just be used to bring in the water
Jerri Brown?
Never heard of her.
This poor person hasn’t got a clue. Bless his heart.
May want to get some fact checker on this before you look like a fool.
Before he looks like a fool? He’s proven that ages ago!

Carol, have you looked at the plans on the high speed rail web site? There is about 50 combinations of routes planned. And check out the stops. Also, to travel from San Fran to LA, you probably will have 2 transfers as well. Thankfully the baggage cannot get lost in Timbuktu. :-) Based on what I see, it would be faster and simpler to just drive.
Yeah, it may be simpler to drive now, but population is growing. Traffic is increasing, gas prices are climbing. Roads can not keep expanding. We need infrastructure in this country and it is always met with resistance at first. We are significantly behind many developed countries.

ok high speed rail transport water.???? think about it.?
First sentence is so moronic it makes reading everything that follows way too much of a chore. Here’s some 411: The governor of California has no more control over the prices at the pump than the president does.
Recent report I heard on the news is that one organization says that the summer gas blend is when the oil companies make the biggest profits in California. They have a “captured” customer. Years ago when the summer blend was started, I commented to several friends that for the 15% reduction in emissions, it costs us that much in gas mileage. I still see a reduction in my MPG during the summer blend season. So, if we cut emissions by 15%, but have to burn 15% more gas, is it really worth it? It is for the oil companies. I say cut the summer blend out and use gas that we can share with neighboring states when the CA refineries have to do maintenance or repairs after an accident.
Derek Koonce, most of the recent costs in California is in tax that has been imposed on the driver and the refinery. I don’t have a problem paying this as it is necessary to keep my air clean but it isn’t going to get any better. We need to end the dependence on oil.
It is a big Feinstein push for the route is to be put through our representative’s property. Gee, does that sound like a bias.
