Both cities, Dallas and Houston, spread for miles and miles Same thing in CA. Might as well fly if you plan to rent a car or drive.

Living in Austin, where it will not stop, I have no position. I'd like to see a study done of the actual traffic between Dallas and Houston to see if the thing is even justified. Both cities, Dallas and Houston, spread for miles and miles, have inadequate public transportation options, so, any travelers would need cars once they got there anyway, so will probably drive even with a train option.

Dallas has one of the most extensive light rail systems in the country and Houston is expanding theirs. What surprised me re the opposition is that this hi speed rail isn't supposed to cost Texans any public monies.
