No one would ride the train from LA to San Diego. LA was car country. This was the mid 90s. At the time all LA had was a bus system. There were two trains a day to San Diego. Flash forward 15 years, there now are 26 trains per day to San Diego.....all full. The metro area now has six commuter lines, 6 light rail lines and one subway...all well traveled.
