Getting to the Inland Empire in Record Time...

hsr-sd.png As part of the proposed network of high speed trains in California, a route from Los Angeles to San Diego could go b-line eastward through into the Inland Empire instead of taking the traditional Amtrak Surfliner route down the coast. Such a trip would take 1 hour and 18 minutes. There are lots of public meetings this month about transit and a series about this project will start up next week.

Sounds great! Although I would hope they at least have it go directly to, or connect to a Metrolink shuttle all the way to San Bernardino station from Ontario. Seems silly to build it all the way out and then turn it south right before reaching an additional 500,000+ people by adding a mere 20 miles.

Does anyone else think it's really lame that you won't be able to go directly from San Diego to Orange County? I'm surprised there hasn't been more criticism already. I'm assuming the rich homeowners and military are the needles in our sides here?
