Sure, but for $150 billion, and only from Baker to Barstow.
Tickets will be $750 one way and the State will have to subsidize the rest of the annual cost not covered by fares.

Do you believe the Vegas to LA train will actually get built this time?

I think they've already started some of the work haven't they?

It's a private corp that already built a Miami to Orlando line.

It’s a good bet compared to most in Vegas

If it’s finished, 100% will not be on time or under budget

The company's Miami to Orlando route came in under budget.

I hope it does, the traffic from LA to Vegas and back is a nightmare...

Yeah, I used to live in LA. Taking a train would have been so much better than driving

Exactly, and add 110 degree heat, cars over heating etc. It was hell.

It will be overbudget, a complete mess, overpriced, and eventually underused. US should learn from Japan

Why? The company has already built a Miami to Orlando line.

I hope they succeed. I just think it’ll be a huge mess and won’t be as effective as needed.

This is a very different system, being run by a private company.

I'm assuming all the evironmental permitting will be just as cumbersome, despite

I believe the majority of the line is between the I-15 freeway lanes, so not

Yes, they are using land that's already permitted. Between I-15 lanes.

They completed their line in Florida on time and on budget. And the logistics of

Yes, it looks like a *better* bet than their FL line, and easier logistically.

I once tried to leave LA for Utah on a Friday afternoon.

I hope so. The I-15 traffic to/from Vegas on weekends is terrible.

Let's say the average price of a ticket is $200. It will take 60,000,000

Orlando to Miami is only $79. I'd be surprised if they charge $200.

Ok....so even longer to pay for it.

You should tell them their business model is flawed so they don't throw away $$$
