by air, LA to San Fran is about $130-$200 round trip, 1 hour each way. 
Train is $110-$140 round trip, and takes 8 hours each way (and includes 2-3 stops along the way). 
Driving is about $100-$160 round trip, takes about 6 hours each way.

That's why I fly to SF.  It makes zero sense from a cost vs. time saved benefit ($40-$60 more to fly, 5 hours less travel each way) to go by train or by car.  There is a bus operated by the local viet community that is $40 each way, takes 6 hours and plays DVDs and has wifi access that I've been on before.  I would take that alternative before I drove myself or took the train.
That's flying solo.  Add just one more person, and a scenic drive from LA to SF sounds reasonable.  Business trip, obviously fly.

And trains are not economical, not because of the cost to operate them, which is still considerable, but because it costs many billions of dollars to build them, and the ridership levels required to pay off those bonds are much higher than demand. This is why no private company is willing to build them. They can't afford the massive losses that governments don't seem to mind. When California's High Speed rail was attempting to have their project approved, they had rosy ridership estimates of ~111M people per year. That's now been downgraded to 20-30M/yr. The estimated cost is $68.4BN. It will struggle mightily to ever turn a profit. But hey, ilocano stands to make bank

I don't think about your positions before I post.  I post based on the information you provide in each thread.  You sound like you're trolling here.  It has nothing to do with your view on abortion.  When you say things like (paraphrasing here) "sometimes I just want sex, OK!!!!?", how else am I supposed

If you remember, I take issue with your categorization of abortion as murder from a legal and biological standpoint, not your moral view of abortion = bad (again if you remember, you and I aren't that far off on the morality of abortion).

...and Extra Medium, if you aren't off your rocker or trolling, please for the love of sanity, have someone look at your numbers before you say things like 2 out of 9 people on airlines are staff.  That contributes nothing and makes you look stupid.

Ehrm...
This "sticking your head out the window" really isn't an argument.

Those high-speed trains we're talking about here are completely shut off from the outside, relying on air conditioning only.
They are highly streamlined vehicles, and opening only a single window would drastically reduce speed and performance.

Yep. Looked it up. Shouldn't have.
