If your business in dallas requires a rental car, then of course you should drive.
Flying from iah to Dfw usually takes right at 4 hours from house to courthouse downtown dallas.

TSA Pre-check and don't check a bag. Dropped off at Love field by Uber this past Sunday at 3pm. Got Whataburger and boarded my 3:40 flight in plenty of time.Quote:
An hour for security and idle time waiting to board. 30 minutes to board. An hour flight. 30 minutes to land taxi gate unload. 15 minutes to get luggage.
A shopping mall in Travis county was held up for almost 10 years due to the possibility that some damn bug might reside under the property. Federal foolishness is still in force even if it is your own backyard ONLY.WaltonLoads08 said:
I agree that it is a total boondoggle, but wouldn't the feds not have jurisdiction, since it would be 100% intrastate?
Correct me if I'm wrong.

This assumes you live close to an airport.Squirrel Master said:Absolutely not true. Flying is way faster in most cases.fire09 said:
To those suggesting flying commercial is faster, I would challenge any of you to compare door to door times. I would bet Driving is faster 90% of the time.

How dare people who's ancestors were promised sovereignty over "their nation" as long as the rivers run protest when once again the US unilaterally amends the treaty when it might benefit them. Different deal.
Not true, we promise very well. We don't follow through very well.jja79 said:
My point is the promise was made after we won. Guess we don't promise very well.
I do agree with you this will never come to pass, though I was skeptical about the 249 Tollroad as well and apparently that's about to get started.
The 249 toll road is a state project, largely supported by those affected and minuscule when compared to this choo choo. AND it has taken many many many years to finally just get started.jja79 said:

You're doing it wrong.coastsrs said:
Distance matters.And a Hou-Dallas flight, door to door driving is probably best every time unless youre on business trip and need to work between.
Depending where you live,you need an hour to get to the airportthe amount of time it takes to get to/from the airport is the most significant variable. For people inside the 610 loop, it's less than 30 minutes.An hourless than 15 minutes with TSAPre or A-List for securityand idle time waiting to board. 30 minutes to board. An hour flight.30 minutes to land taxi gate unload.15 minutes to get luggageCarry on only.
About42 hours and 15 minutes. Thenanother 15 to get a rental0 minutes to open your Uber app.
By that time youmight as well have driven, beat your flight, and have your own vehiclereturn home you have saved 4 hours round trip and were able to get something done other than windshield time

Houston to Dallas is a wash. Any other significant town other than and further than dallas and flying wins everytime.
And I have Southwest Airlines list preferred. I was averaging it.
I could easily say if you live in Woodlands and leave at 3am and drive 120mph whike getting a blowjob the entire way without stopping you can make it in 2 hours to the metroplex.
You're doing it wrong too.
Mr. AGSPRT04 said:
I'm not sure why it's so hard to understand that where you live in relation to the airport is the most significant variable in this. If you're driving from the Woodlands, past IAH, to Hobby, to fly to Dallas, it probably is a wash. That you choose to live in South Dallas doesn't make my statement any less true.
This. The proposed terminus station in Houston is near 290/10/610 intersection. So Most of Houston would have significant travel time to or from the station.Quote:
So tell me, where in the Woodlands would you be getting on this high-speed rail at?
Our 'hood has already been up in arms about this terminus. Some of those people will fight to the death to keep it out.gindaloon said:This. The proposed terminus station in Houston is near 290/10/610 intersection. So Most of Houston would have significant travel time to or from the station.Quote:

Out of curiosity, do high speed rails in other countries have significant delays due to weather? do the trains slow down, or cease operation if there is a thunderstorm?
I just got stuck on a 90 minute flight that took six hours to reach the destination because the runway was too foggy to land (3 aborted landings and a refuel stop in Huntsville, AL before we finally got on the ground).
If a high speed train was significantly more reliable for schedule, then I think this would make more sense.

Where is this hood? There are no neighborhoods of any size near where this will end. It's all industrial areas along the loop, hempstead, north post oak, and katy rd.CDUB98 said:Our 'hood has already been up in arms about this terminus.

I agree that technology reduces the need for travel, however, sometimes a face to face meeting is still better.
