68 trips a day. That's a lot of half empty trains running back and forth each day.

Okay. But, I gotta admit 2 - 4 stops daily here seems reasonable.

How do you figure this is even remotely reasonable when you factor in routing the rail lines, building a train station and adding additional time to the route even when there are no stops? All of this for a whole 2-4 stops per day?

It seems to work in Europe. Some trains are "express" between major cities, others stop at the smaller ones.
It would be nice to have a BCS stop but I'm not holding my breath. They've been talking up HSR for years now.

The other thing is, that in Europe or the East Coast, when you get off the train you are in a dense urban area where you can usually walk to your final destination. Don't see that for B/CS, IMO.
