The problem is the elevated lanes won't have structural reinforcement for future rail.

Get off at the NE Ttansit Center and then what?

So dumb

Monterrey also

Yea with a shuttle but not exactly in the city

Eckels said it costs too much to go to college station

Density has nothing to do with intercity rail. Mass transit within a city or commuter transit is a different story.

Spirit's massive expansion plus viva aerobus, Internet, and volaris entering the market have caused a huge fare war with United on certain Latin American destinations, particularly cancun and guadalajara. Spirits impact is more because they fly domestically and to other countries like Belize, Costa Rica, Nicaragua, and Honduras. Good for customers.

Point a to point b seems to work for megabus

Number one houston is not a tourist city. On another note http://sanfrancisco.cbslocal.com/2014/12/28/amtrak-san-joaquin-corridor-nears-ridership-revenue-record/ http://abc7news.com/traffic/bay-area-amtrak-ridership-up-despite-low-gas-prices/453327/ http://patch.com/california/healdsburg/local-amtrak-corridor-nearly-sets-revenue-ridership-records-0 http://www.dot.ca.gov/hq/paffairs/news/pressrel/14pr127.htm http://www.fresnobee.com/2014/12/24/4301345/more-valley-riders-took-amtrak.html

I guess you're unaware of Bakersfield-Sacramento-San Francisco ridership on Amtrak, 5th busiest corridor in the nation.

Regarding Brooklyn meatball co the guys wife is from houston Also the tunnels suck the street life out during lunch. It makes downtown seem dead

I've been to Bakersfield. The reason this project is being built is because California is crowded and the traffic is awful. It's time for an alternative. If it's fully built it will inspire the rest of the nation to build similar projects

They suck the people off the streets. And for the most part the food options are terrible.

15 riders is an absurd statement

Morons. Don't want a private company or taxpayers paying for it. They just hate the idea of rail, because they don't know any better.

Merced to Bakersfield and Palmdale to Burbank will be done in 2-3 years. The rest who knows but the idea is to build some of it get people to try it and then private investment will come and put the rest of the $42 billion. Right now $26 billion of funding they have. Makes you appreciate how cheap the Texas project is. The flat terrain and cheaper property acquisition is the reason for the huge difference I think (besides the distance).

It seems to work pretty well in a number of other countries

Nice I remember hearing about volaris on the southwest website years back.

There are two buildings left one is by sovereign it's smaller

They are too expensive. $1015 is absurd you could fly to Europe or Asia for less

How much was Katy freeway expansion from northwest mall to downtown? The total project was 3 billion so it was in the hundreds of millions as well. I don't know why people complain about cost of trains but for freeway everything is okay.

They have a vision we don't it's been like that for a while

Seatguru

They're on pace so far looks like with the garage and terminal
