That’s the annual cost increase. Keeps going up a billion or so every year. I sure hope our federal government isn’t investing anything into this.

Here’s hoping Moonbeam Brown uses his corrupt bullet train as a suppository!

This is what happens when you let a once prosperous state fall into the hands of the Democrats.

Money is fungible. Wonder if the train is really gonna get that money, or if the money will be siphoned off for something else, like state pensions...

CA taxpayers - those that haven’t left yet. I wonder how much money the illegals will be taxed for it.

Do you know what that works out to per mile?
You start factoring in normal operating costs and this thing will cost just about as much as Nancy Pelosis bar tab.

So much better off fixing roads. Everything they build is gonna be wiped out in earthquakes anyway. Make roads. Crap.

why would ANYONE take this useless train when a self driving auto (rental?) can do the same job and better?

We’re up to $23 million per mile.
Just remember, the same rats who think this is feasible to build a bullet train will tell you its do complex and expensive to build a border wall.

This first segment is actually up to $89 million per mile. Even the French high-speed railroads were built for a fraction of that.
