Creating more economic growth for California – over 450,000 more permanent jobs expected by 2035.Who is expecting this? In a seriously declining job market, this train project will not bail out the state economy, contrary to the political beliefs among those who see the government as a major employer and provider of “work-fare.” And, what kinds of jobs do they mean?Carrying up to 117 million passengers annually by 2030.Taking this fact at face value leaves us with some interesting numbers. 117 million passengers a year equals 320,547 passengers each and every day. To move that many passengers each day requires 401 trains daily. A ten hour day is 600 minutes. Will they run a fully loaded train every minute and a half, every day, every year?There are 38 million people living in California. To provide the train with the annual 117 million passengers would require that every man, woman and child in California ride this train at least three times a year.
