I like that, it sounds right. On the other hand, the skeptic in me sees which is the next segment built when, being a political solution and will probably be far from optimal.It also makes a great test track. The logical thing to do, that is if logic is involved, would be to then build Bakersfield to Palmdale next followed quickly by Palmdale to LA. If the "cross platform" connection at Bakersfield, or if done at Merced could get you by train across the mountain, ridership should jump significantly. Then build into SF after people start begging for it.
