That was an excellent post and you've brought up some great points. Although you mentioned a lot of positives of an HSR project and mentioned a few problems that it would solve, how do these measure up to the problems that would be solved and positives created by improving intra-city rapid transit?

The HSR project would create opportunities but I believe rapid transit projects would both solve massive issues and provide new opportunities. Consequently, the latter would have a much greater impact.
