Who honestly chooses their car to travel from SF to LA? Who would choose that over flying? And who would choose flying over a faster(taking the security/delays into account), cheaper HST?
I like how everyone likes to say HSR is a money pit - like highways aren't? |
Having driven, flown, and taken the train to LA, I'd rather take the train, even if it does stop in Bakersfield and you take a bus to LA Union Station. It's by far the most comfortable option. Right now it takes the longest--with HSR it would beat air travel time including check-in etcetera.
