Apparently the vision of a high-speed transit corridor between San Francisco and San Diego is approaching reality. I had no idea they were this far along. This is an official environmental impact study (EIS) from an official government body, not some far-flung think tank fantasy.
The line will run along the old Highway 99 corridor, not the newer I-5 corridor. 99 is an older four-lane that winds through the imperial valley cities of Fresno and Bakersfield. It’s also one of the fastest growing regions of the state, as people emigrate from the high-priced coast.
Travel time from LA to SF: 2.5 hours at speeds of up to 220mph.
Very cool.
