If they do Merced to Bakersfield, I think that last connection will be too economically valuable to ignore. San Jose, which can scale to multiple millions, vs. San Francisco (which can’t / won’t)
Or even create a new San Francisco - Sacramento HSR line.
Or they could have spent a quarter as much extending BART to downtown San Jose and connected the same number of people.
If sprawl is still the goal, then CA HSR will increase environmental degradation, not alleviate it
I've never understood this. How is not just another form of sprawl? And who is going to pay up to $100 per day to do that commute? I genuinely want to support HSR but I thought the whole point in every country with successful HSR is to connect major urban centers.
It wouldn't quite be $100/day; a monthly TGV pass between Lille-Europe and Paris-Nord (200km, on par with Fresno to San Jose) is €678 plus €1.50 per journey, so maybe $40/day. Still pretty expensive.
The revision may well enable an upgraded ACE to do the job for less
This is why Merced is key
