Waste of money
Waste of money even though it is Jerry Clown’s wet dream

Planning for the re-introduction of Unicorns into the SCV is more realistic.
nobody needs or wants this “crazy train” to nowhere… cannot believe this project hasn’t been killed yet
Follow the money

I know little of the geography or the terrain, and I know you American’s love your cars, but elsewhere in the world where they have introduced high-speed rail the patronage has been exceptional, and the service better than air. I did the 150 miles Amsterdam to Brussels in under an hour, full wifi connectivity, cold beer served at the seat and all for about $40.
If I was in LA and wanted to get to SF I’d use it.
with all do respect if you knew this terrain from living here you would know that there would be scant areas that this train could reach any real “bullet speeds” as it winds in and out of slow speed rail areas mostly throughout the majority of its journey…and then when you get wherever you are going there is no connecting transportation to take one anywhere they need to go in any efficient way as in other countries
“no connecting transportation to take one anywhere” … you may need to get a on a connecting bus (gasp) or metro train. there may be brown people on board also. the thought of it!
It will never happen mostly due to Kalifornia regulations. It’s a money pit.
In order to pay for it , ticket prices would be sky high. So in order to make them affordable , we the taxpayers will have to subsidize ticket fares. Sounds like a giant money pit!
Us tax payers will be supplimenting the ticket prices forever…more taxes thanks to the libs in this state …we already have a rail between Lancaster and Burbank. ..it’s the metrolink…
1) forever is a long time. hyperbole much? yours was THE WORST COMMENT IVE EVER READ IN THE HISTORY OF ANYTHING. see what i mean?
2) the purpose of the HSR is to link northern and southern california via rail. lrn2research.
3) nothing to do with libs vs anyone else. this is a matter of the state growing vs clogged freeways vs expansion of airports to handle short haul flights around the state. HSR is the better option.
All the infrastructure for the Eurotunnel, and all the high-speed lines were new; they all run at a profit. I don’t see how the USA can’t do this. Anyway, think of the taxes as an investment; it will eventually make a profit, and in the meantime it should reduce road traffic (win), reduce CO2 output from the cars (win)
Dave Fernando How much will the federal government pay for this high speed? Is the high speed from LA to Las Vegas being built? If so, at what cost to the federal government?
Michael Auer
#propaganda lies and moonbeam’s pet project paid for by the only 12 taxpayers left in the state. #ca4maga ??
This would be funny if it didn’t cost so much. Southwest will always be cheaper and faster even if they do ever finish this thing.
They need to stop this expensive travesty…
Scrap it and use it for water infrastructure!
Don’t have the money for this extremely expensive venture!
Californians are tired of being taxed to death Jerry Brown!!!
But Judy! You can come visit me so quickly!!!!
The rest of the United States are tired of the federal government paying for California’s projects/mistakes.
I swear we said NO to this train!!
Ain’t happening CA is a Blue State. Hahahahaha
With its death walls, oooh hell no.
Esteban Papp you never know when they will make one from van nuys to irvine ?
its about time for a rail
Sure, right after the wall and maintenance on our damns and increased water system. Priorities…
We do not need this thing!! We need to fix this state first!
translation: “the things i think are important are not the things other people know are important! i want to talk in terms of nebulous talking points, so i can never be shown to be wrong! i am angry and i dont know why!!”
Another “Governor Brown” nightmare!
We do not need this stupid Moonbeam train. Why hasn’t it been killed yet? We do need water more than a train. Too many taxes in CA, people are fleeing the state, who will be left to ride it anyway? You riding it Jerry???
you speak in talking points and refer to the governor by a nickname he was given SEVERAL DECADES ago. let it go. also, too many taxes? which would you lower, o genius linda? also, fleeing the state? um no. also, youre right: there were no studies done on ridership (none that you would believe anyways, since they would all conclude that you are WRONG) and we californians are just building this for funsies!
What a misguided waste of money. More politicians lining their friends and relatives pockets.
the first sentence is an opinion, the second an accusation. what proof do you have that your second sentence is any way grounded in reality? cynicism is not proof.
Huge waste of money. Does anyone even notice all the empty seats on the Metrolink? Not that I do not like the Metrolink, it serves its purpose and is a very relaxing way to get to work without dealing with commute traffic, but still lacks the numbers it was supposed to get. Moonbeans train is an absolute waste of tax paying dollars and this train will be costing California for the next 50+ years (or longer). Lets not forget that .12 cent tax hike in gas prices that was to go to road repairs has a lot of fine print that covers all transportation which Moonbean snuck in to help fund his stupid train. Blue state it is, we will all be singing the blues as long as Moonbeam is still in charge.
so what is your genius alternative? widen the freeways ad infinitum? expand airports ad nauseam? ooh, i got it: everyone stays in place and does not try to travel between northern and southern california! GENIUS! thanks a lot, so cal guy!
So Scoot, where is all of your proof and facts and studies that justifies this multi-billion dollar, future scrap metal train. I do not have all the answers as it relates to traffic, and congestion. What I do know is that California has a few other environmental projects of higher priority they could do with the billions of dollars that are being used on this train. Governor Browns answer to everything is taxing California every opportunity he gets. He has been doing this for the past 7 years and even 20 years ago in his first two terms. I am old enough to remember both. Cant wait for his final term to end…it cannot end soon enough.
It will be built, to all you that say it won’t, you are wrong. To the guy or gal, that said “one big earthquake and its gone” yeah there will be some damage, just like some fwys., some buildings, some houses, etc., thats part of life, but when its happens we simply just rebuild it. Anyway back to “It will be built,” here is why: Los Angeles World Airports no longer owns, no longer operates the Palmdale Airport. The year 2020 the entire Antelope Valley (the currant L.A. County, and parts of the Kern County and San Bernardino County) will be its own county, Hi Desert County. The Palmdale Airport reopen, while the Burbank airport will close. The Ontario airport is also set to close approx. 2025, then Palmdale will be intl. airport. Also in 2018 Northrop/Gruman will be operating 24/7 with a mfg. staff of 8,000 employees. For people like me this is great, my 10 acres of land that I paid $15,000 22 years ago is currantly estimated $750,000.
It will help commuters, environment, the traffic i the freeway, our economy for sure. I commuted to work for more than 16 years and I won’t drive down below again to work, very stressful. I hope that high speed train will be a reality.
