He really pulled a fast one on the people of California. Well, sir, there's nothin' on Earth like a genuine bona-fide electrified six-car high speed rail! https://reason.com/blog/2018/01/17/cali ... train-abou You have to applaud him for selling them on this scam. |

Running express trains from O'Hare Lot F (where they're building a big parking garage/rental car facility that connects to the people mover) to Union Station would be a good rail project. Not sure whether that necessitates laying down more track, I don't actually know anything about train stuff, I just like interesting public spaces like Union Station and alternatives to driving. |

I think that type of project is being considered in connection to light rail like the L as opposed to heavy rail like Metra. I think the plan is to connect under Block 37 and OHare. Im not sure if that is still the plan |

If they build an express train to shave 15 minutes of the trip to/from ORD instead of doing something to actually improve transit you should revolt. I couldn't think of a more pointless idea. |

Im not sure if that is still the plan Metra and the L are both heavy rail. Light rail is like streetcars and trams and stuff. I don't get it either. I don't think anything is being attempted with Block 37 anymore, but yeah, I know they wanted to run express trains on the Blue Line, but that would be loads more expensive than expanding the North Central Line instead, which I think already has a third track in some but not all spots.

I couldn't think of a more pointless idea. Loop Link! Express trains from O'Hare to downtown are actually a pretty good idea. Such a project would be as useless as Heathrow Express. Anytime I've flown to Heathrow, I've just taken the tube instead. I think most people flying into ORD would take the blue line. Besides, how many people flying into ORD are really going direct to downtown? Even a business traveler is going to rent a car on the company's dime. |

Obviously on the things wrong with society scale it’s far far down the list but it’s too bad our infrastructure forefathers didn’t make 8 lane expressways with super wide main thoroughfares around major cities along with multiple main tracks on rail lines . |
