In the opinion article, Robert Puentes argues that millions of dollars should not be invested in any type of transportation. Robert explains that there is no reason in fast attaching cities and metros that are already connected. His argument is very well explained and I agree with his views. I admit that this is not something relatively needed. The government definitely need to think this one through and prioritize the decision of going forward with this idea. Obama wants to put 8 billion dollars up for this? I think the U.S should be worrying more about the issues we have going already other than worrying about fast transportation. Like Robert mentions, the cost of maintenance for the trains would be highly expensive as well. Also, this will take substantial technology to develop and maintain. Robert has a high credibility by using China's high speed rail as an example, Barack Obama's view, and is highly anticipated by many others admiring the topic. The intended audience would be the government, and also specifically pointing out the mayors and city officials who may be in thought of the fast rail plan. However, the decision of following up with high speed trains going 200mph, is also controversy because acknowledgments of a train speeding at 100mph is already an issue. I'm sure trains at these speeds could not be compromised in going through towns. Could affect other transportation abilities in the near future and bring disturbance to the society. In other words, I feel that this is a great opinion establishment.
