Transportation Along the Texas Triangle

Kyle Ames, a fellow colleague, comments on the upcoming project by Texas Central Partners in a recent blog post. This project will connect Houston, San Antonio, and Dallas—Texas' largest cities that make up the Texas Triangle—via high-speed train. 

Although I agree with Ames when he says, "Texas can benefit in more ways than one," he forgets to provide reasons why the high-speed rail system will benefit Texas and its economy. As the population of Texas' cities increases so will traffic. The result of this project will help reduce traffic congestion on Texas' major highways. The high-speed train will also reduce pollution, creating new jobs, save travelers time and money, and provide travelers with a safer method of transportation.
