Shijie诗姐(@shijie808):This is exactly happening in Honolulu. Over 10 years ago, the Honolulu rail project budgeted about 3 billion, they already have spent 7-8 billion so far, but not finished yet. Now they say it needs at least total 11.7 billion to finish the job. The worst thing is Skyline only running about 14% projected ridership.

@Teslaconomics @boringcompany The real reason for the “high speed rail” is money-laundering to bureaucrats, consultants & unions, not actually transport. That is where the billions spent so far have gone. That is why they don’t want an actually cost-efficient high speed transport system.
