DocumentaLy 6,033 Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 This has been talked about for years but it just popped up on my dash. It's a high speed train by the way for those who don't know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Myth 6,602 Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 Opposed to it. It's too expensive, we're already financially fucked as it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sgtninjago 2,190 Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 If we weren't in a financial fuck up right now, maybe. But as it stands, no thanks. Its not like were in a dire need of one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sergel 3,577 Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 I'm in support of it. It's pricey, but the potential it has to open up things is good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maryan 11,519 Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 I'm not sure... In the end of the day, I don't use public transportation so it wouldn't make any difference for me. I'd honestly prefer having our money spent on other stuff first. But hey, if the pros outweigh the cons... Then cool Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seto 1,818 Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 It would be perfect for someone like me who hopes to move up north soon. So as far as it benefiting me, i'm in favor of it. I also think it could attract more tourism if they brought closer to Los Angeles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HvD 3,431 Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 Elon Musk unveiled his plans for the Hyperloop, a high-speed transportation system that could deliver passengers to their destination at speeds up to 800 miles per hour. Musk's estimates the project will cost around $6 billion for a people-only version, and around $10 billion for a version where people could bring along their cars. Highlights: Travel 800 miles per hour; 30-35 minutes from L.A. to SF. Safer than trains and airplanes; difficult to crash. Will be able to mount tuned mass dampers in the Hyperloop to make it more earthquake resistant. Unaffected by extreme weather conditions. $6 billion dollars to build; proposed high-speed rail system for California will cost roughly $70 billion dollars. "Musk will invest his own money into this project." So, what do 'Californians' think about his plans for the Hyperloop? Would you support it? I would.

cookieELF 191 Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 Nope I don't support it at all..I mean we are going to be wasting billions to build it... and by the time they finish the train it will be way over the budget and way over the estimated time to build the train..we could be using that money for education or other things that are needed...I really don't see how they are going to Ok this when California is already in huge debt....

hyoyeon's lines in check 6,413 Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 It would be convenient but we lack the proper funding so no. My NorCal friends that visit SoCal get by as it is with the existing train and trolley systems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HvD 3,431 Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 I made a thread about this already. Sorry, I thought the image you posted was about the old high-speed rail system people have been talking about since forever. It was only until I read your comment and looked at the direct link and title of the image that I realized it was actually the 'suggested route' of the Hyperloop project. This was actually meant to be a response to your topic. Hence the comment I made in the spoiler tag lol. I'm currently trying to merge our threads together. Hope that is 'ok' with you. Still waiting for the mods to respond. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
