Do you'll think the bullet train is dead? No news since October. I haven't been able to find updates about the company. The project while interesting seemed too ambitious.

It will never happen in my opinion. America’s is completely controlled by oil, and Texas is the heart of the American oil industry. Having a bullet train would undermine their profit margins.

Then there are NIMBYs who would tie up projects on a city level.

It seems like the current Texas government is more concerned about identity politics than actual progress.
