Description

California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) is exploring a high-speed bus system that could travel up to 140 miles per hour on dedicated bus lanes and stations along existing California freeways. The system aims to connect major metropolitan areas such as Sacramento, the San Francisco Bay Area, Los Angeles, and San Diego, with a proposed route between San Francisco and Los Angeles taking about 3 hours and 12 minutes. The project requires major infrastructure upgrades, new technology including aerodynamic buses, vehicle-to-everything communication, automated driving systems, and advanced braking systems.
