High-speed rail operators Brightline West figure it’s time people stop thinking about its project between Las Vegas and Southern California as the train to Victorville.
Greta Seidman, director of public affairs for Brightline, told a local tourism group Tuesday that dual links from Victorville eventually would provide seamless train service to either downtown Los Angeles or the Inland Empire . Trips from Southern California to Las Vegas would take around three hours with tickets priced competitively with the cost of making a trip by car or plane.
Brightline anticipates 11.3 million one-way train trips between Southern California and Las Vegas once the system is operational in four years.
