Our $2.16 billion bus station

A decade ago, then-Mayor Newsom had insisted he wouldn’t allow the terminal to be built without funding for high-speed rail, declaring: “We’re not going to build a $2 billion bus station under my watch.”
And we didn’t build a $2 billion bus station. Instead, we built a $2.16 billion bus station (Even as SF transit center opens, officials figuring out how to pay bills).

They ran out of money first year of construction and decided to cut corners. One of them being the outside cover white steal design was suppose to be glass. The tracks on the lower level for the speed train and cal train is a basement at the moment.
Wait until they begin to implement the plan of moving cal train to the terminal. Which then king street will be used no autos. Which is why they've been wanting to get rid of 280. It's in the way.
I forgot to mention a new cal train stop in front of the warriors stadium on 3rd st. Again no autos.
Boondoggle! I hope the new Gov. kills the bullet train, hell for that money they could buy every california adult a e-car and build charging stations along I-5...there you have it..."green transportation between LA and SF and you can bus people in the valley over to I-5 to hook up with "ride share".
