Nice talking point. Locals actually use roads. They will never use this "bullet" train to go to cities hundreds of miles away from where they live and work.

Think how happy locals will be then that the people traveling farther aren't clogging up the roads.

IME (having grown up in Fresno) people from the valley travel to SF and LA areas quite a bit.
