"The reality is that I-35 is going to be further congested, so the more trucks coming out of Mexico, up to San Antonio, up to Austin, up to the Canadian border, people are going to just get fed up, and they're going to look for alternative transportation," Sakai said. "I think we live in a world now where time is money, so I think it's just going to be the natural market situation that will encourage and really require people to take the rail. If we stay status quo, it'll be gridlock."
"The current proposed train route includes stops in Fort Worth and College Station, but Travis County Judge Andy Brown and San Antonio officials want to see it extend to Austin as well. The travel time between Houston and Dallas is projected to be as fast as 90 minutes, and Brown hopes the commute from Fort Worth to Austin will be reduced significantly, making it a viable transportation option for more residents and visitors alike."
