California

It was to follow the existing 5 interstate because the infrastructure was already there. The LA to SFO corridor is one of the most traveled in the country. Unfortunately politicians in the small towns between SFO and LA wanted to have stops put in - not really accepting the idea that a bullet train doesn't make a lot of stops.

I wish it would have been completed but as soon as I heard that they weren't following the original plan of going straight up interstate 5, I knew it was a boondoggle that would never work. So we're stuck with a 7 hour drive, or air planes and airports.

We really lost out on this one, all thanks to politicians.
