Wish San Bernaghetto would have that kind of activity because downtown SB is a bit sketchy/dead.

Riverside seems nice. I need to take the train out there one weekend.
San Bernardino....not yet. Maybe when they get their shit together. I was there a few years ago near downtown. Defintely felt the sketch.

I didn't realize the train ride to Union Station was so long, that helps to explain why they haven't tried to attract commuters with high rise apartments/condo's.

It will never happen, but an electrified 110 mph almost-hsr from LA to maybe Palm Springs would be a big deal.

I-10 just needs to give up another lane to double track that rail line, no? Surely that will be politically feasible...

San Bernardino seems to have been doing a lot of good things lately though!

If Brightline is built between Las Vegas and Rancho, that could be a boon for San Bernardino.

No way that happens nor should it. If anything they should place the trains below the freeway and design it as a bullet train. Win-win.
