California High Speed Trains: Transbay Terminal

This 3D animation shows a conceptual view of how high speed rail would operate inside of San Francisco's Transbay Terminal. The end of this video illustrates how the area surrounding the terminal would be impacted by the 13 towers currently proposed for sites surrounding the new station.

As much as Californians want High Speed Rail...I hope it happens soon. Not JUST for California, but for America as a whole. Look at other countries that have HSR:

Japan - The size of California.

South Korea - About the same size as Minnesota.

Spain - Slightly more than twice the size of Oregon.

France - slightly less than double the size of Colorado.

Taiwan - Slightly larger than the states of Maryland & Delaware combined.

Think about it...THOUSANDS of American jobs!

Buy shinkansen from Japan, Please!!

@WayOvertaxed your name should should be Ihavenobrain

[tehatemachine]

@Aobasakura they are considering it, but it might be a mix between the shinkansen or TGV. or it could be a custom built U.S train like what was done with bart.

as of rightnow the State Senator and other people of California are boycotting Govenor Jerry Brown and commincing him to kill the whole project because the cost is over $50 billion and soon will be $60 Billion before we reach September of 2012 there for you wont see this in reality at 0:01 to 0:22 but if HSR get Canceled then this Transbay building will just be a 3 story building without a Basement for a Railsystem at 0:23 to 1:02.

I only see HSR, Commuter Rail, and public transit buses?

Where are all the connections to: Regional Rail, Amtrak, BART, LRT, Streetcars, and Coach/Commuter buses. I am also curious to know where will the retail and leisure platforms all go?

the Transbay terminal is Underconstruction.

@TheMantisTycoon because buses stink the inside with diesel fumes, and they should not have conbustion powered vehicle run indoor because of carbon monoxide wich will kill every one inside so the Electrified caltrain, Muni, Bart and the High speed Train works better indoor because they are all electrified and Zero emission. so no body will be exposed and pass out. another word you need ventalation for Diesel vehicles.

[Hokiesfan100]

Bring these to Virginia we need them too.

[TheMantisTycoon]

Why are the loud, noisy buses on top instead of the nice, quiet trains?

I don´t know which reputation we Germans have in large parts of the USA.

I ran across a wide range of opinions about my country in my life.

But I´ve never ran across the opinion, that Germans would be stupid.

We have a large high speed rail net and are expanding it further and further.

Even across the channel to Britain.

Look at our economic success. Look at our clean air and environment.

We are selling our Siemens bullet trains to several other countries in the world.

Follow our example, USA.

@Amar7605 Actually, no true high speed rail system is government subsidized in any nation and there are no plans to subsidize any part of the CHSRS. In fact, the CHSRS is set up to produce a profit and will be operated by a private company. Even America's Acela Express makes a substantial profit and covers its own operating costs and its share of ROW costs. TGV also recently paid off several of its rail lines, and all of Japan's rail systems have been entirely private since 1986.
