The Chinese train is not a maglev, it is steel wheel on steel rail just like the Desert Xpress.

I guess he has never been to the Southern Nevada Museum of Fine Art.

Funny, the planning for Ballpark Village in St. Louis began in 1999 and 10 years later it still hasn't been built.

The $276 roundtrip price is great, but the $387 in "Taxes, fees, charges and surcharges" really sucks. A trip for two totals $1,326. Not really a great deal at all.

When will the D Street/Washington Avenue off-ramp from I-15 northbound re-open?

Det. Munch,
I don't know what "hype" you are talking about. My only point is the LA to Vegas market is 38 million visitors a year.

There are only 2 million people that live in Vegas, and not all of them go to LA every year.

Do you really think they care if the small number of people who live in Vegas will take this train? If they make any money, it will be off the people living in Southern California, not people who live in Vegas.

Well Det. Munch,

I guess they are already screwed because they have previously stated the main goal of this train is to attract some of the 38 million people coming from Southern California to Vegas, not some of the 2 million people in Vegas going to California.

Why do all these families of four want to bring their kids to Vegas? Drop them off with a friend or relative before you come. You and everyone around you will have a better time if you don't bring your kids. As a bonus, it would only be $200 roundtrip to take the train (yes I realize this doesn't work for families of four in Vegas to go to LA, but this is being built for people to get from LA to Vegas, not vice versa).

A Vespa is a scooter, not a motorcycle. Therefore the Scooterist is not required to have a motorcycle license, wear a helmet, or have insurance. Why is this legal???

The train would be electric...
