Just another anti-HSR hit piece. The projected LA>SF transit time was 2 hours 45 minutes in 2008, when Prop 1A passed, and nothing that has yet been built precludes that speed. It also doesn't acknowledge that the transit time between LA Union and San Jose will be right at 2 hours, and Burbank to San Jose about 1:45. No commercial flight can compete with those door-to-door times.

What's more, Uber and Lyft will be penny stocks in 3-4 years. For-profit rideshare will go the way of Prodigy and CompuServe because it can never make money. Not with drivers, not with driverless cars.
