Hopefully lone star state would enjoy Shinkansen, the 2nd import from us next to Yu.

We tried in the 1990, but Politic killed the project, Now its probably a financial question. since the price has tripled since the 90's. The Texas triangle at that time was estimated at around 1.5 billion$. Good luck Texas!!!!

Texas Build this NOW

I love the idea. I would take it

This rail system has been long overdue! :) Makes me very happy.

When I observe ridership in Houston, Dallas and Austin, the public is supporting transportation projects that are usually well below 50% utilized. As a general statement, the south has not made the transition to thinking of public transportation. I agree with many of the comments I saw below that question the slow speed, security restrictions and convenience of this train if it becomes operational. We live about 90 minutes north of Houston and it would make little sense to drive to downtown Houston to make a trip to Dallas. We are also very concerned about how this would impact traffic moving east and west?

Dear TexasCentralHSR, I'm part of a group based in Florida that wants to bring HSR to the whole entire country, and your vision of doing the Dallas to Houston line is exactly the type of reality we want to bring to the rest of the nation: privatized, Japanese technology. I would love to get in contact with working with you on research and promotion!

A Bullet Train is an ABSOLUTELY STUPID IDEA in 2014*** Texas would being making the California mistake. Plus its super easy to hop a Southwest flight from Love to Hobby. If they want to made a difference and help change the world create the HYPERLOOP !! Elon Musk is giving away the technology for free! The Hyperloop can be up to 7 times faster and is a fraction of the cost to build.

Long overdue

This promotion is rather stupid. How can it use "quiet," "call home" & "call client" in the same ad? People travelling in these just to have peace of mine in addition to efficiency.

The chance to take a poo at 200mph? Sign me up.

China now has HSR service all over their major cities. All where built in the last 10 years. Why can't TEXAS. I say, it should be here yesterday.
-
Nice! When?

In thought, its a GREAT idea, in REALITY, it simply ISN'T. Tickets would Cost MORE than an airline flight AND I see NOTHING "safe" about a vehicle going 200 mph. IF something happens at that speed, you cant expect to survive that. Thousands of people would get killed. Just look at train accidents at less than HALF that speed. To the guy who proposed making it "300 mph", you're NUTS. You might as well pretend to be the rocketeer & strap a rocket pack to your back & put a patch of gum over the leak.....

I live in Houston but have lived in Europe. 205 miles per hour is just too slow compared with trains already operating in other countries. I'd prefer Texas to investigate an option like Elon Musk's Hyperloop idea. It doesn't require building a no crossing high speed track and could result in 30 minute door to door travel from Houston to Dallas.

That video is just so much BS. There are two existing rail routes between Houston and Dallas and both had passenger service in the past at around 4hrs. Either could be enhanced at a fraction of the cost of this boondoggle. One is the BNSF route and the other is the UP route through College Station which is longer. To build true HSR requires a completely new ROW at enormous cost. The proposal is to put it in the median of I45 which would require a complete rebuilding of the interstate as there is no room for trains in the median now. Look at it next time you drive to Dallas or Houston. This will happen around 2050 or when 'H' freezes over.
