>>1018766As a resident of LA I think the LRT is a good start. But regional rail (electrified) with it's own right of way, and expansion of the subway are key. We're supposed to get High Speed Rail by 2030 but I think Amtrak needs to build something like NEC on the West Coast to augment CHSR, possibly between Seattle and Sacramento. Due to the fact that CHSR is flawed and has gaps in it's service.
