Yes, ACE offers passenger commuter service between two regions of California that have a mountain range between them, so while it looks like a trivial trip on a flat map, it's actually a long and annoying commute by car, and lots and lots of people do that commute. It was supposed to come to a city named Merced in 2026, but they delayed that in order to tie it into the California High Speed Rail station opening to the public there in 2030. The meme is because they initially announced that ACE service would open in Merced in 2025, then 2026, then 2030.
Ahhh that's better for an outsider to understand haha. Oh man that sucks. Does that mean that eventually it'll be better because of the high speed rail? or is it just bad all round?
Yeah, it will eventually be better. If they went ahead and started service now, then you'd have to have a stupid system of moving people from one transit station to another, which kinda defeats the point. It's absolutely better to just give folks the ability to step off one train and onto another. It's an investment in time that will eventually pay dividends.
