    The same funding package gave the Bakersfield to Merced high speed project $3.1 billion so they could buy trains and start running by 2030. The San Francisco to Los Angeles project was originally supposed to cost $9 billion but it’s now estimated between $90 and $120 billion.

    Brightline looks like a bargain compared to CHSR.
