jspector@Gannett.com - dude who wrote the article. Badger him all you want. 

Why did you feel the urge to inject your "opinions" into yet another subject that you're clueless about?

Yeah, that's worth putting up billions for 1/4 of that distance.  How would this magic train cross PA, NJ and enter NYC?

 

Not a lot of options from Scranton. Basically stuck on 80 and then the N.J. Pike to either of the tunnels or the GWB, depending on traffic at the time. This magic train doesn’t want to go through Staten Island because then its got the Gowanus and the BQE to deal with — unless it heads up through the battery tunnel. 

 

The magic train would be much better off staying on 17 for awhile because then its got many more options to shoot south. And it would avoid PA entirely.

Which is a good idea if NYS taxpayers are footing the bill.

Following in California's footsteps?

Clearly! We’ve been promised a ‘bullet’ train down the middle of the state for almost a decade now. We’ve gotten absolutely nothing! And if they ever do build the stupid thing, nobody’s going to ride on it. Billions wasted.
