There's a reason the project is officially called the "Dedicated Tracks Project". The service concept is HFR, with the primary focus being frequency. To enable proper frequency, however, you need a certain level of speed and reliability, and track capacity. |
It is interesting you believe the government projections. I cannot think of a single projection they have had right about transportation, or really any government funded project in at least a decade.
I will believe the actual numbers.
