Get Air Quality Technical Report - California High Speed Rail ...

The IOS is projected to commence revenue service as a self-contained high-speed rail system between 2030–2033, at a cost of $28–35 billion, and will replace current San Joaquins service south of Merced. With a top speed of 220 mph (350 km/h), CAHSR trains running along this section would be the fastest in the Americas.

Construction on Brightline West, which bills itself as the first “true” high-speed rail system in the US, officially broke ground earlier this year. With plans to be up and running by 2028, the all-electric trains will travel between Southern California and Las Vegas at speeds of up to 200 miles per hour.

Termination. On 1 January 2021, the prime ministers of Malaysia and Singapore announced the termination of the HSR project. While both governments had held several discussions on Malaysia's proposed changes, they were unable to reach an agreement.

California's Problems in Building HSR The project is significantly delayed, and its budget has increased to about four times its initial cost. Some of this is due to mistakes in planning, management, oversight, and accountability.

Highlights. Long-term effect of HSR on urban air pollution reduction is confirmed. Long-term effect works by substituting air passengers and enhancing urban innovation foundation. The impact of HSR in reducing urban air pollution extends to the spatially connected cities.

Current Project Status The first section of Mumbai – Ahmedabad Bullet Train project in Gujarat is expected to open in 2026. Construction has been completed on the lodging buildings at the Vadodara Training Centre, and is underway on the Sabarmati HSR Terminal Station.
