I’m not stating its better, but that after 20 years we still do not have anything to show for it, and in 6 years all we will have is a line of Bakersfield to Merced. I’m all for HSR, but it shows how horribly incompetent the state is.
India is expected to have its first HSR segment by 2028-2029
The SNCF (French railway company) was initially interested in getting a contract for the high speed rail, they left to go make a HSR in morocco which opened in 2018.
Asserting that the state of California would have built more rail if it had served fewer people and cost more money is a counter factual that I concede I cannot disprove, but I find it a rather unlikely proposition.
