This weeks hearing on the California High Speed Rail was a real circus-with the CHSRA's latest "business plan" being laughed out of the room by the Legislative Analyst.

Among the more amusing analysis is the purported passenger "modeling" showing that LA UPT will generate almost no ridership for the system, but Gilroy will??? And, California ridership (despite almost no contribution by LA County Stations?) will exceed, in its first ten years, the ridership of every other system that has been built recently, in the rest of world, by factors of 4 to 10 fold in this latest "fanstasy" business plan......

I will try to get the posts of the data presented uploaded for those who want a good laugh. There are no bizarre conspiracy theories necessary on this one-just good old fashioned self serving and clearly ludicrous assumptions, lots of political hubris, and incredible organizational incompetence at the CHSRA.
