What? We know who is going to be the next president without recounts and court
decisions? I guess that's democracy FTW.

It's not designed for competing with local transportation like BART. If you look at the site you posted, they have estimated trip times and cost between the stops. SF to LA is 2 hrs 38 mins for $55. Even if you add an hour for travel to/from the station, it saves a couple hours and is cost-competitive with driving.
Sorry, I missed the costs (thanks!) - that is cheaper than I anticipated, and I wonder how accurate the estimate is. Seems artifically low, considering the infrastructure and right of way they are looking at needing for this.
If they truly can deliver on that kind of cost (instead of costs similar to those I gave earlier), then yeah, this might work out fine. I am pessimistic on their estimate, though.
