Trains are a 19th century solution to 21st century transportation needs.
I’d be willing to bet once finished, it will be played with problems for the rest of its life from poor workmanship.
The cost of union worker voter bribery is massive.

The Rail extension is to facilitate people leaving
Frisco’s answer to the “Big Dig”.

The Democrat-run city of San Francisco has been widely criticized for high levels of homelessness and crime, public sanitation issues and open-air drug use. Many high-profile, tax-paying businesses have exited the city as a result.
The High-Speed Rail (HSR) project, connecting San Francisco to Los Angeles, has been widely criticized for construction delays and heavy cost overruns......its initial budget of $33 billion in 2008, when it was first approved by ballot proposition....... the cost is currently projected to reach $128 billion in total, with the first phase of the project not expected to be ready until 2030.

if this thing is actually built and assuming it’s ever completed, San Fran will be a hollowed out city with empty high rises, empty retail stores, and legions of bums and illegal aliens camping out on every sidewalk, parkway, park, and every other “public” surface ... basically, you’d be looking at a Soylent Green type of situation ...
I bet San Francisco feels dumb now for rejecting my bid of $3.8 billion per mile of tunnel. Heck, I even built in 10% for assorted bribes and “donations”.
