- Plans for a high-speed train between Dallas and Houston have a lot of support. But what it will look like when it passes through Downtown Dallas on its way to Arlington and Fort Worth received some harsh criticism Wednesday when the city council saw it for the first time.
Hurry up and build the dang train. The whole DFW has trains already, but we need this route to Houston immediately.
The drive from Houston to Dallas is a drag, and I believe there would be a lot of support for a High Speed Rail linking the 2 Cities, it would be a big plus for Texas, of course the logistics can be worked out in terms of where to locate the terminals and how, but I don't think that alone should deter the project from moving forward. Half the people yelling about Environmental concerns are still drinking cans of beer or coke and throwing their discarded cans into the regular garbage, and instead of eating organic have no problem with gorging themselves on KFC or McD's. So I'm not so sure as to why they have so many environmental concerns when it comes to this.
Does it really need to go Fort Worth? I mean we have the TRE and they can upgrade the trains and double track the whole line to add express non stop service to Fort Worth. Not only that the bridge design is eyesore.
Boycott all Hunt properties, and hotels!
Go ahead but put the central station in dfw. Make routes to san antonio austin and el paso as well . Once established send a route to oklahoma city baton rouge Lafayette and Alberquque
They haven’t even realized how high speed rail impacts the entirety of their focus for the area because;
1. Convention Centers draw hotel traffic
2. The best place for a hotel is within 10 minutes of a transit network
3. The High Speed rail helps to prioritize densification of cities
4. That High Speed Rail will create a natural transit hub allowing for more people to make it to the Convention Center
5. High Speed Rail makes a business in the area more profitable
I hope they realize that they are shooting themselves in the foot and then claiming that someone else shot them
What mark was that one dude talking about?
Yeah because having a highway is so much less ugly than a tunnel lol
Why not underground?
$. Just look at what happened with DART
@@darwinjina it’s not high speed. Big difference
@@texasgrillchef8581 so, then more $$.
Texas soil doesn't do well for underground projects. There is too much groundwater, and the soil is expansive with a shallow frost line. That's also why their are rarely basements in Texas as well.
@@slowbro1337 while there would normally agree with you. Keep in mind that a couple of sections of dart are presently underground with no major issues. I would agree long stretches underground would be costly. However a short section to run underground of downtown would be feasible. I will also agree that for that section, the coat could be three or four times higher then the above ground version. The thing is we do need to have a high speed rail system, to remain competitive in the world marketplace. Not something that plans can do. Since there are many times planes are delayed or canceled where under the same circumstances a high speed train would not.
Build the bullet train route at cedar station to Houston and split way route to Arlington and forth worth.
Lol this is ugly but the 20 pane highway is fine?🤣 And have they seen the rest of Dallas? It’s mostly very ugly.
What folks also don't understand is that high speed rail will help curb sprawl unlike highways.
TEXAS COME ON MAKE IT HAPPEN. DONT LET CALI BEAT YOU
Who’s gonna take a train?
A lot of people
Are you ignorant at how fast these trains are? or what amenities they provide?
@@ItsWhoIAmItsHowILivenot me
@@HTV-2_Hypersonic_Glide_Vehicleplanes are better
@@The_king567 for cross country trips, i can see that. For intermediate and short trips, trains are easily better.
We dont want it!!!!
I want a high speed train… but don’t like the current alignment either.
Driving to houston is so inefficent and annoying. If you ever had a reason to do it you would want a high speed rail
@@BenThePerson123 never have and never will.
Yes we do. High speed rail is a great way to travel
@@CARMEKANIKenjoy the crap traffic then.
