I have heard that the high speed train project is a boondoggle, but after using the London Underground and seeing how usefull it is in other countries like Japan, I feel we need to get onboard that train (pun intended). Plus, I think if I can get to Las Vegas in a few hours- that would be nifty! And I would travel to the San Fran area as long as the tickets are less than flying.
With the state of the oil industry, global warming, road conditions, etc. how much longer can we put off mass transit, boondoggels and all?
