SAN FRANCISCO (KCBS) -- The first steps towards bullet trains that would connect Sacramento, the Bay Area, Los Angeles and San Diego could begin if voters approve a $10 billion transportation bond proposed for the November ballot, rail advocates said Monday.
Activists from the consumer group CALPIRG rallied outside City Hall Monday in support of a bond measure they hope would jump start a project that has been in the planning stages for decades.
CALPIRG has joined the chorus of voices calling for a rail system in California on par with the one in Europe that would make the travel time from San Francisco to Los Angeles about two and a half hours.
