    I needed to go to LA last year from Sacramento

    I could take:

    • Amtrak: 8/9 hours for $150 per person, uncomfortable and a slave to the freight network (I’ve ridden Amtrak many times in my life)

    • Drive a rental: 120 for the rental for the day + gas, but a 6 hour drive

    • Drive my EV: Just the 20 or so bucks for fast charging a few times, maybe an 8 hour total trip

    • Fly: 80 bucks per person round trip, sub 2 hours flight, 30 minutes pre flight, Uber to where I’m going for 10 bucks cuz its not far from LAX

    I REALLY wanted to take the train but my god

      You’re not expected to solve systemic issues on an individual level.

      Please do make sure to vote for someone to build trains, of course.
