Riding high speed rail from Beijjing to Shanghai is an over 800 mile trip in just 4.5 hours, making the Shanghai Maglev the fastest train in the world. That’s over twice the distance to LA. Just imagine what high speed rail could do for California. It will connect our state and be a model for the rest of the country.

60 Minutes OBLITERATES California and Gavin Newsom's plan for high speed rail: "Hardly passenger-ready." "America's hopes for its first high-speed rail were kindled in 2008 when California voters approved a ballot measure for a train connecting Los Angeles to San Francisco in less than three hours. The estimated price tag: $33 billion. Completion date: 2020. It would cut pollution, revitalize local economies, clear gridlock. Status update: today, the state's High-Speed Rail Authority is preparing to lay its first tracks at roughly the same cost. Only slight course correction here: instead of LA to San Francisco, it will run one-third of that distance connecting—wait for it—the metropolis of Bakersfield and Merced (population 96,000). Oh, and when will it open? 2033." Pathetic.

In 2008 Californians voted to approve Proposition 1A to build 800 miles of high speed rail. “By 2020 passenger service will begin on the Anaheim/Los Angeles to San Francisco backbone of the system” Here are some of the claims this Bill would deliver: * 600,000 construction jobs * 450,000 permanent jobs * Speeds of up to 220mph * Downtown LA to Downtown SF in 2 1/2 hours * Trains will carry 100 Million passengers a year by 2030 * First trains running by 2015 “Wikipedia” (🤪) says California has spent $11.2 BILLION in the last 17 years and there isn’t even a single piece of high speed track laid.
