High Speed Bullet Trains In The US To Be A Reality Soon
High speed trains are not a common sight in the U.S. Now, In California, all that is set to change with the 21-16 vote win in the state Senate for Democratic Governor Jerry Brown. Soon, there will be a bullet train linking LA and San Francisco. A trip from the San Francisco end to LA will take 2 hours and 38 minutes. And that’s not all; it can help you save 324 pounds of carbon dioxide emissions.

The only serious problem that the bill faced was the state of finances at California. The project would cost $68 billion. The Republicans felt that this project might turn out to be a financial burden for the state. But, the Democratic Party’s argument, that this project could generate tens of thousands of jobs, outweighed the arguments of the Republicans. U.S. government has decided to start the construction of the rail link from the Central Valley, where trains could reach 220 mph (355-kph) over flat and more sparsely populated terrain.
The California high-speed rail project is the centerpiece of President Barack Obama's promise to the nation's transportation infrastructure. Now considering what to choose when travelling in California - Cars and planes or Bullet trains? Don’t worry you will not have to make the decision very soon, as the project is estimated to take some years to near completion. The authorities say that service could start 2018. That is a long way. What say?
