[QUOTE="The Other Side, post: 853094, member: 17969"] Metrolink is a "local commuter" service. With stops every 20 seconds it appears. HIGH SPEED rail is something completely different and you cant compare the two. From Los Angeles to San Francisco in 3 hours by rail is nothing like the metrolink. In dego, they have the red line trains. Why dont you compare high speed rails with that? The trains along the coast make for a touring run, not a high speed commuter. Anyone who doesnt understand the need for high speed rail hasnt been to europe or japan. Maybe if you had, instead of sitting home waiting for the days mental programming from FOXED SPEWS, you would understand the concept. High Speed rail customers are not local rail comuters. They are different customers. Attempting to compare the two is silly. Business people fly all over this state, being on a commuter makes more sense for this customer. These trains are not sightseeing tours of downtown modesto. The object is to employ americans (you know, the ones you claim to be supporting) and finding a future solution to a reduction in consumption of crude oil. These ideas should have been built 25 years ago when it was cheaper, and today it isnt cheap, but tomorrow it will be too expensive to build thereby making it harder on this country. So many businesses will prosper with a project like this. Cement, steel, sand, wire, electrical, construction, wood industry, plumbing and so on and on and on will make thousands of dollars over the next 10 years with this project. Thats enough to pull cali out of the dumps, but those who think its best to do nothing will stand by and complain as their state sinks into the ground. Peace. [/QUOTE]
