What Cities will not be served?
With the route through the Pacheco Pass now chosen, further north cities like Stockton and Sacramento will not be served. Coastside Cities like Santa Maria, Santa Barbara and Monterey will not be served. Cities further north than San Francisco will not be served. It also appears that cities further south will not be served, since the southern coast seems to be intent on pursuing other technologies. This is a single line with no flexibility. If you don’t live within a certain distance of a station, you won’t be served. Being a HSR train, stops are few and far between.
