Bay Area High School Students Tour California High-Speed Rail Construction
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 7 сен 2022
- For the first time since construction began, a sponsorship provided by Deutsche Bahn E.C.O of North America gave Bay Area students the opportunity to hop on a charter bus for a ride to high-speed rail construction in the Central Valley. The day was packed with presentations, construction site visits and many opportunities for the students to ask questions to the experts working on the California high-speed rail. Students that participated in this tour were part of the Summer Transportation Institute within San Jose State’s Mineta Transportation Institute.

Project needs waaay more public advertising so that people will actually care about it so that it gets funded more and gets done faster. Put up some billboards in LA and the bay area. Make some cool art-deco posters that supporters of the project can spread around. #HighSpeedHype
Love the art-deco posters idea! What a lovely call-back that would be!
Ah yes.. feast your eyes on a technology that other countries had for decades... if anything they should keep this on the down low to avoid any more embarrassment...
@@WrongThink_ High-speed rail sounds a hell of a lot cooler than...freeway and road widening...which is what most transportation improvement funding currently goes to.
It's not about the technology...
It’s the politicians decision to get this project finished.
We need more people to be educated about the benefits of high speed rail so there would be more public pressure to get this done!
Absolutely! I’m in full support of high speed rail.
If you want to see the benefits of it, go to China and ride it. I like it better than flying any day for short trips. How do you KNOW that there will be "benefits" to a full install of this project in CA? You do not know this to be the case because there is no case example in OUR CULTURE where almost everyone owns at least one car. Unlike China where only 15% own ONE car. So different. HSR makes more sense in China. Here in CA it seems like an attempt to get people out of their cars, which is social engineering
@@prism9712 America needs high speed rail because:
1.) Not everyone in the U.S. owns or is willing to buy a car.
2.) Every person has different needs, but want to be connected to communities across the U.S.
3.) There are individuals that prefer environment friendly transportation and rail is the most environment friendly mode of transportation in America.
4.) More passenger rail in general is needed, especially in areas where there is no extra room for additional highway lanes.
5.) Heavy highway traffic is happening because population growth is taking place.
@@chooch1764 population in CA has been FLAT for about 6 years now. It's not growing. In fact, Year 2021 was less than 2020. Heavy Traffic? Need facts, not speculation. I am a Traffic Engineer, registered in the State of CA, and population growth has nothing to do with traffic right now. Traffic is less now. Covid put many more people working at homes. How will the train help these people?
@@chooch1764 Additional highway lanes are not going to be needed. They will be repurposed into high speed autonomous CAR and BUS lanes that travel at very fast speeds, probably overall faster than the HSR, because these cars will not have to stop. They can just fly along at speeds faster than the HSR. You know, HSR in the SF San Jose areas are going to be at grade? That means stopping traffic and creating more traffic jams for cars. That means ACCIDENTS WILL HAPPEN. That also means it won't be screaming by at 100+ mph when there are pedestrians and KIDS that can easily enter the track. Be real.
I love California High Speed Rail. 😮
That was fun thanks so much for having us
Looking sharp! Who could ever say this is a waste of money? If you do, just wait until the service begins and we will talk
Those students are the future! This project will hopefully benefit them in many ways!
Can't wait for California to finish this awesome project! Wish Illinois would start something like this
All it takes is $100 BILLION and its yours!
Great idea to expose kids to these kinds of seminal public transit projects that will forever change the idea of what public transit look like. As the one student said she had no idea how huge this project was.
I want California High Speed Rail. 😮
I would definitely ride California high speed trains.
you can enter Disneyland ALL DAY for less, and ride multiple rides doing so
@@prism9712 I ride trains to experience them and I want to experience riding high speed rail in United States. I wasn’t asking for your opinion that doesn’t matter.
Great job involving the new generation and getting them to share in the pride of CA leadership/technology!
Getting students excited about high speed rail is excellent! Great work, CalHSR! This investment will bring smart young minds to the project!
Indeed. And we know how kids influence their parents too on all sorts of stuff.
This will be a HUGE benefit to California. I am looking forward to riding it.
My favorite state
@@toniderdon Working on it, but the entrenched NIMBYs are hard to overcome. The State legislature is trying to pass a bunch of housing supply bills. They've already passed a bunch and improved the situation somewhat. But of course a lot more needs to be done before we can make housing prices competitive again.
California is eh at times
@@TohaBgood2 Very true. Even the HSR has had to deal with numerous NIMBY types of situations mostly from conservatives.
wouldn’t go that far
For the first time, I'm proud of being a Californian
Oh wow
The "Powers at be" have been working hard over the last century to keep these types of rail projects from ever taking off the ground. Hopefully that is slowly changing. Europe & Asia are Way Ahead of the U.S. in this department.
China is trying to have what you say "powers that be" caused here. China has HSR like no other country. But people there who can afford it are CLAMORING to get a car. 15% of them, because the other 85% must ride buses and trains. Most can NOT afford the HSR, so they take the slower K trains, which take a couple of days to cross their country. Tickets are much cheaper and the ride is bumpy. Looks like the "powers that be" made some smart choices to get the CAR SYSTEM in place, because the world PREFERS it and benefits greatly from the convenience and ability to prosper with it. Trains keep people down. I have seen it. People who don't have a car get much less done and accomplished. Many parts of life are burdensome and riding a train takes even more time and there is the challenge of connectivity on each end of the ride. Lots of walking far distances. Lots of challenge to take luggage on a bus, to connect to a train, which has limited storage for your luggage. Cars and trucks look REAL GOOD when you consider these things.
@@prism9712 Was this written by CO2?
@@blaster1185 The concept of climate change got a RUclips account, it seems.
GO FRESNO!
lets go fresno its the 6th largest city in california
And will now be much better connected to both LA and SF the two biggest cities in CA.
The yellow vests and hardhats were a nice touch!
I wish I could see This in person. Maybe I can get on to HS2 after university.
Yes and yeah California High Speed Rail. 😮
They built a 200 yard bridge and it only took 14 years! 🎉
Not even close bud. Construction only started in 2015
@@darthmaul216 You know this project was approved in 2008, right?
I pray for California High Speed Rail. 😮
When it's finally complete they can take their grandchildren to it's inaugural trip
This aged poorly
These kids will have kids that can take the same tour. Awesome!!
This aged poorly
i'm jealoussssss, i wanna go on a field trip like that, we were gonna go to catalina last year but covid was still around. i ❤trains. might ask my engineering teacher about it. also join build the earth, we're building the whole world in minecraft
I can tell you, it was very HOT that day, and to wear a MASK while out in the hot sun where Covid was not a danger, at all, probably would not have been a fun field trip. I like trains too, but not a $100 Billion price tags. If everyone of the 40 million people in CA were to chip in their share, that cost would be $2,500 per person. What individual has that kind of money??? 2500 dollars per person? per KID? Per BABY too? Per all people who don't need it. This is not making sense to like trains that much.
when they want to hire 18 years old with 20 years experience, you gotta do what you gotta do
If everyone of the 40 million people in CA were to chip in their share of the $100 BILLION procetag, that cost would be $2,500 per person. What individual has that kind of money to support the train??? 2500 dollars per person? per KID? Per BABY too? Per all people who don't need it. This is not making sense to like trains that much, that the cost benefit ratio can never make sense.
Then it’s a good thing that we don’t fund or think about infrastructure projects that way then…
That’s not actually a lot
@@darthmaul216 It is TOO a lot to pay for the 99% that will never use it, and even the 1% that a might find an occasional use for the high speed rail. It's such a LOW use mode. LOW use.
The first only ‘grade separation’. A bridge. Central Valley is a flat desert, cheap to build rail. But, a detour , thus entire journey is slowed down.
…what?
The "Central Valley is a flat desert". Have you ever seen the Central Valley, even on Google Maps?
@@clinton8421
In term of grades, it is flat, cheap to build railways. ‘Desert is figure of speech.
@@marktan3668 I have never heard it in that context before. "Desert" usually has the connotation of "an empty place," and I thought you were making the "train to nowhere" argument.
@@clinton8421 Central Valley is some little farming villages. Inhabitants are Latinos, whites and blacks have gone to make wars overseas to make big money.
Get California High Speed Rail and get California High Speed Rail now from San Francisco to Los Angeles and Anaheim and Sacramento to San Diego. 😮
Build California High Speed Rail and build California High Speed Rail now from San Francisco to Los Angeles and Anaheim and Sacramento to San Diego. 😮
🙄
That's a lot of cement and steel. It's probably enough cement and steel to make a dam or an aqueduct.
And enough to build a railway.
Why would we build another dam? As is, only 20% of our water goes to anything other than export agriculture! How much more in water subsidies do we have to give the "farmers" before they gorge themselves on taxpayer money?
@@TohaBgood2 Oh but wait, farmers don't use taxpayer money...lol...
@@TohaBgood2 farms? Yeah, who needs them anyways,right?
@@prefersoxygen9373 Agriculture is about 2% of California's GDP, bud. Wanna explain to me again why export agriculture gets to waste 80% of our state's water?
How am I benefitting from subsidizing a bunch of farmers selling a ton of cheap groceries to the rest of the country and the world?
They should go to China and experience what high speed rail is really like.
Better to go to Japan where high speed rail was pioneered.
Their kids will be in high school before this is complete
Actually, no. The sections currently under construction are on track to finish major construction by next year. By 2025 they'll start running trains for testing and certification.
The anti-CAHSR propaganda is strong, but the project is continuing to make progress. The dogs bark, while the caravan keeps chugging along!
@@TohaBgood2 I don't think it's that strong at all. It's more of a small minority trying to make a lot of noise as is the case with most NIMBYs. Even in the Central Valley you now see more support, in part, because of all the good jobs and they're beginning to see the project as a benefit going forward.
@@TohaBgood2 not true, according to an article in 22 may, 14 years, $5 billion spent, zero tracks layed.
Still have dozen bridges to start, tunnels and many environmental obstacles to deal with.
2035 before full completion with an estimated $60 billion over budget...
@@prefersoxygen9373 That was a propaganda article, bud. According to the CAHSR Board meeting on this very channel, all three sections currently under construction are on track to complete in 2023. It's literally on this same channel that you are watching this video on.
Just because some anti-rail propagandist decided to opine on this project does not make it true. The CAHSR Board meetings are literally a "state document". They cannot legally lie or knowingly misrepresent data without repercussions. We have public disclosure laws for exactly that purpose.
Your "article" can lie all it wants. As long as "intent" is not provable they can say whatever they want, peddle any type of propaganda!
@@TohaBgood2 where are the photos of tracks being laid?
Financial reports?
And if you think that the government does not lie because they are not allowed to lie then you have been lied to, it's what they do when they fail taxpayers.
Great day for the young ones to learn.
But did they know that this project is 14 years old, spent $5 billion, already over budget, and no tracks laid yet?
Someone got rich from the $5 billion spent, ask them to ask their parents where their tax money went?
Well they’re certainly learning that you don’t have anything better to do with your life but complain about things you can’t control.
@@MarioYoshi4723 if you want to sit back and throw your arms up and surrender, go ahead. Some of us others would rather be concerned about and do something about the wasteful spending of taxpayer dollars.
Enjoy your cowardness
This aged poorly
@@prefersoxygen9373 dr. Seuss made a comic about people like you
@@darthmaul216 what a great rebuttal!
You really brought some data and facts to the conversation.
Thanks for contributing
Boondoggle

Ok snowflake
@@darthmaul216 because I like fiscally responsible government projects haha your cool 😎
Complete waste of $$$. This will be deleted. Right unions?
Does nobody read their comments before posting them to check for coherence?
@@Zero76606 No, they do not.
You should have been deleted
With all the stops what's so high speed about it. Wast of money, white elephant on rails.
Do you understand how rail lines work? Have you ever been on a train?
So sad to see those student, who had almost no chance of problems with Covid-19, with masks on. They will never get over it.
Might be a dust liability
Imagine believing masks are only for one virus. Even then, better be safe then to get sued.
The covid-19 pandemic will exist as long as the media wants it to exist. People need to be told what to think.
Grow up sheep
why are they wearing masks outdoors 🤡
because this video is beyond "woke?"
@@prism9712 they should go back to sleep 🤣
Train to no where😆 commiefornia Utopia
Is it communist to want cleaner air and safer roads? Is it communist to want a better future for our children where they may not have to move to a different part of the state and struggle financially to live for a job that pays them pennies? Is it communist to take charge and be where the rest of the world is and not sit back while everyone does the hard work for us? When the richest business owners of this country are killing us for profit? Is it communistic or humanistic?
Because California is still a for profit state, but also realizes that you cant have profits without the people. And this project will move money better than any truck or car.
Oh and if you're going to say anything on homelessness, we're working on it. San Franciscans are withholding taxes if the city doesn't get their act together as of this year as well as the protest from those in the L.A. region.
It's happening.
I know right. roads to nowhere for 6 hours and traffic as far as the eye can see is way better. we have to stop all of the crazies from making things that actually work.😆 democratopia
@@THELASTWARR1OR u right my brother, I shure do love getting craps in my eyes and ass after driving 8 hours straight!!!
Yep, a train that is dedicated to take *you*, to nowhere so we don't have to see you anymore lol.
Lol obsessed
why are they wearing masks outdoors 🤡
why are you even bothered by it to?
@@tyren818 because the COVID19.CA.GOV discontinued the requirement for even INDOORS, and so this video is like a woke propaganda on that. Why does that not bother YOU, this messaging ?
Poor kids, having to be subjected to that. This video was not authentic. Even the "interviews" were staged reading of a white board presenting to be original spontaneous thought.
@@prism9712 How is wearing a mask "woke" now?
@@clinton8421 Doctors wear masks, its not woke to wear a mask, I didn't say that. But its obvious that this video was staged, because kids are not wearing masks outdoors, and there is NO guidance in the school systems on this now. Its OVER, so why the masks? The school guidance now is that if you are exposed to someone you KNOW has covid and they even breathed on you, you don't even have to isolate, let alone wear a mask. The Fresno Unified School District schools are saying to watch your symptoms for the next 5 days, and then take a test to see if you caught covid.
CDC says otherwise, but the SCHOOLS are saying what I just said.
So this video is propaganda, and so is woke stuff, claiming all the things they do, all of which are mostly unprovable. And when its unprovable, its WOKE.
