Murrieta/Temecula to get High Speed Rail Station

[briansd1]

Don’t hold your breath for high speed rail. At this rate, we won’t see high speed rail in our lifetimes.

Want to experience high-speed train travel? Go to Japan, China, or Europe.

Republicans running for governor in a handful of states could block, or significantly delay, one of President Obama’s signature initiatives: his plan to expand the passenger rail system and to develop the nation’s first bullet-train service.

I guess Temecula can wait longer for rail service.

Jeopardizing $213 million promised to California, the House is poised to pass a bill that would divert money for high-speed rail projects around the country to Midwest flood relief.

In a preview of the bitter partisan fights that lay ahead over ways to reduce the federal budget deficit, Democrats on Thursday protested a provision of a Republican-drafted spending bill that would rescind $2 billion in unobligated high-speed rail funds from the 2009 economic stimulus bill. A large chunk of that is money rejected by Florida’s governor for high-speed rail and awarded to California and other states after a fierce competition.

[quote=AK]Ah, the LV monorail.

The LV monorail is a joke. It for tourists going in between casinos. It’s not really public transport. It’s more like the escalators are the mall or the rolling walkways at the airport.

In LV, it’s like they don’t want you to take the bus.

From the airport your have to go downstairs to some unmarked and hard to find bus stop. From there you take the bus to the bus terminal. Then you change to another bus that takes you to the strip. It’s a joke and a lost opportunity to build public transport. Rideship is available right at the airport. It’s like a mafia controls the limo/van services and doesn’t want a public transport option.
