From the Texas Bullet Train website:
This project is a privately developed high-speed train system that will provide another choice for those traveling between the two largest economic powerhouses of Texas – Houston and North Texas. Together, these areas represent approximately half of the Texas population.
Once constructed, the train is scheduled to run every 30 minutes during peak travel times and hourly during off-peak times, with a midpoint stop on the 90-minute journey in the Brazos Valley. Connecting these regions with this safe, reliable and productive transportation option will provide Texans more great choice as they travel for work and play. Additionally, this important infrastructure positions the state for future growth and creates tens of thousands of new jobs for Texans.
As developers of this private project, Texas-based Texas Central continues to promote an open conversation with all parties about the high-speed train. With a project of this scale, there are naturally questions and concerns.
