Texas-chatter came up....Dem's want a high-speed rail project.
Route? Dallas....going south....hitting Waco.....then Austin....ending in San Antonio. If you figure in a 5-min stop in Waco and Austin....the total trip is about 2 hours and 45 minutes (roughly).
Cost of such a ticket? Unknown....they left this info out of the draft bill. My humble guess.....round-trip? Probably in the $250 range.
To be kinda honest....the Dallas to Waco 'leg'....probably would never have anyone riding.
How many runs per day? With a 3-car train and 250-odd passenger max for each trip...no more than three runs is my guess.
Why leave Houston out of this? That's another odd feature.
If you left this for public talk? It would not be in the top 100 improvements for the state.
The funny thing? You could start up a bus-trip....same route....taking 6 hours....for $39 each way.
